How was it not picked up electronically, and instead by eager eyed office workers?!

That's what I found most startling about the whole thing!

Doesn't the scam work when both parties or at least one party is aware of the incident. I don't think it was him actually claiming 500 times on one of his own vehicles?

The defendant drove the cars and charged £500 and left the 2 parties to get on with the claim.

Alot of these scams are happening in Scrap yards and then both parties would make a claim and as they both have the same story it would be a case for ins comp to prove fraud.

You're right of course, my title is a bit misleading but I couldn't edit it.

I assume they will also be arresting the 93 car owners that lent him their cars?

That is quite the circle of freinds he has!

Aplogies, meant to quote Ypauly, about the Scameras. Slight brain malfunction I'm afraid.

All well and good until he swerves into your braking zone and slams his anchors on. That was the exact scenario he did on a van driver on the news

Apparently he is a civil cervant; working for the Department of Work and Pensions. I wonder if had any other scams going on....?

They'll probably keep his job open for when he gets out, can't descriminate against criminals can we.

Will this affect his No Claims Bonus?
