A 22-YEAR-OLD woman has appeared in court charged with trying to buy a £37,000 car using false documents.

Kalita Pierre is accused of using a forged driving licence in a bid to secure the high-end car on finance, the extra cost of which took the overall price to £48,505.

Colchester Magistrates' Court heard Pierre had tried to buy the car at AMC Prestige Cars, between Dedham and Manningtree, between October 3 and October 11 last year.

Pierre, of Beacon Road, in London, gave no indication of plea during a short hearing yesterday.

She was ordered to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court next month.
