A WARRANT has been issued for an identical twin who allegedly gave her sister’s details when she was stopped by police.

Shannon Taylor is accused of being pulled over by police in Colchester after allegedly being caught driving without insurance.

But when she was asked for her details on May 27, 2016, it is alleged she actually gave details relating to her sister.

Court documents state her twin sister was subsequently summonsed to court.

Taylor, 22, of Magdalen Street, in Colchester, was due to appear at Colchester Magistrates’ Court yesterday charged with perverting the course of justice.

But she failed to attend and a warrant for her arrest was issued by the bench.

The warrant is without bail which means she will next appear in court from police custody.

Essex Police are now responsible for bringing Taylor to court.

She will be due to answer the original charge and another for failing to appear.
