A SUPERMARKET worker has been sentenced to a year in jail for fraud.
At Croydon Crown Court on November 8, Jamaican-born Ann Oppong-Kyeremeh, of Edge Hill, Woolwich, pleaded guilty to having two false passports and other bogus documents.
In September, Home Office staff went to the Somerfield store in George Street, Croydon, and caught the 35-year-old with a Jamaican passport and a document giving leave to stay in the UK.
Both were forgeries and when a search was made of her home, more forged documents were found.
After being arrested, Oppong-Kyeremeh told police she had paid £350 for the documents.
Judge Kenneth Macrae said: "It is remarkable you were so rapidly able to get hold of so many forged documents."
Oppong-Kyeremeh is due to be deported after her sentence.
