WEST PALM BEACH, FL--Five state employees  at the Delray Beach division of motor vehicles are accused of creating fake IDs and selling them to undocumented workers.

The driver's license examiners are accused of accepting money to make licenses based on fraudulent passports.

Jashonda Scott, Patresse Harvey, Debbie Colline, Maggie Nelson and Melita Zila are all facing changes.

They were working at the DMV in Delray Beach.

It is unclear how long they were selling fake licenses or how many people received them.

Authorities were tipped off when the DMV reviewed documents that were scanned into a database.
 
They are concerned  because it is a group of employees working together.

The charges include driver license fraud, official misconduct, unlawful compensation and computer crimes.

They are all felonies.

Investigators say there could be more arrests in this case.
