Bogus insurance claims gang pleads guilty

A gang who made insurance claims worth more than £120,000 have today (June 12) pleaded guilty at Croydon Crown Court to making claims for car accidents that never happened.

City of London Police launched an investigation after insurers became suspicious when they spotted the same addresses and vehicles appearing on numerous claims.

The 7 men, from North West London, made more than 30 fraudulent insurance claims between 2003 and 2006 and losses to the insurance industry ran at more than £120,000

They claimed money for supposedly high-value cars that were already a write off when the alleged accident took place. Claims included £23,000 for a Toyota, £10,000 for a Mercedes 300, more than £8,000 for a Mazda MX-3 sports hatchback, and £4,000 for a Ford Mondeo saloon.

When the fraudsters were arrested in June 2006, City of London Police officers found a Volvo parked outside one of their homes that had appeared in five of the claims.

Head of City of London Police’s Economic Crime Department, properties and used fake identities to facilitate their crime. Officers and insurance company investigators have worked closely together to ensure that these fraudsters were brought to justice.

“City of London Police will vigorously pursue this kind of fraud and have several investigations around staged accidents underway at the present time.”

The 7 men are due to be sentenced at Croydon Crown Court on July 10th.
