A Chinese woman was arrested after allegedly presenting a fake driver’s license while visiting a detainee at the Quezon City Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (CIDU).
Quezon City Police District (QCPD) officers identified the 60-year-old suspect only by the alias “Lu.” Police said she was flagged on January 6, 2026, when she presented a driver’s license to the duty jailer upon entering the CIDU facility.
The jailer reportedly noticed inconsistencies in the document and immediately requested verification from the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
Two days later, CIDU received an official certification from the LTO stating that the driver’s license bearing the name Laxiang Lu and the indicated license number did not exist in its database.
Later that same day, the suspect returned to the CIDU and again presented the same driver’s license. She was immediately arrested following the LTO’s confirmation.
The suspect is set to face charges for violation of Article 172 of the Revised Penal Code (falsification of public documents) and Republic Act 4136, or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code, before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office.
