Dad-to-be JAILED after long-running fraud at driving test centre - and told police he'd committed more crimes than they knew about

A struggling college student who set himself up as a £300-a-time 'exam cheat for hire' so he could illegally sit driving theory tests on behalf of learner drivers has been jailed.

Olivier Yolo, 27, agreed to fraudulently take theory tests for cash at a series of DVSA centres across the the north of England, including in Bolton and Stockport, for learners who were due to take them feared they would fail.

The engineering undergraduate masqueraded as provisionally licenced motorists in six separate theory tests after being put in touch with them through his local barber, but was arrested when staff became suspicious when he tried to take a seventh test at the Stockport centre in August 2022.
