Selfish man jailed after using victim of identity theft's details to evade motoring offence in Lancashire
He could have been eligible for an educational course however instead chose to lie.
This is Arshpreet Singh and he is now in prison because he chose to be selfish rather than accept the consequences for his actions.
Singh was arrested in August 2025 by Lancashire Police in relation to a Safer Roads Unit Investigation after he fraudulently used a genuine victim of identity theft's details to evade prosecution for a motoring offence that he committed in Lancashire.
He could have been eligible for an educational course however instead chose to lie and as a result the victim was significantly impacted by Singh's selfish actions.
On Wednesday Singh, 28, of Market Place, Willenhall, West Midlands pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice at Birmingham Crown Court and was given an 18-month prison sentence.

Sgt Chris Birchall of Lancashire Police’s Safer Roads Unit said: “This sentence serves as a deterrent to those who are thinking about lying to police to evade prosecution for minor motoring offences.
“The most likely outcome from admitting to a minor motoring offence is either an educational course or a small fine and points.
“By either lying or using other fraudulent methods the consequences are much more severe, and it won't be tolerated in Lancashire.”
