Bride arrested on wedding day, poses for mugshot

Cecilia Siaw was arrested on her wedding day, and if that’s not traumatising enough, she was forced to pose for a police mugshot in her wedding dress at the police station.

“At the time of her arrest Mrs Siaw and her husband were at Portsmouth Register Office for a ceremony to register their marriage in the UK. She was arrested in her wedding dress immediately before the ceremony,” Oscar Vincent told Mirror.

Siaw was arrested over immigration fraud offences.

“At interview she claimed she bought the document from a man on a train in circumstances which must have alerted her to the document being either false or improperly obtained. I say that because the man from whom she bought the document, she says, claimed to work for the Home Office and the defendant said she paid £5,000 for a leave to remain document,” Prosecutor James Kellam reportedly said.

Siaw has reportedly been sentenced to six months in prison.
