Moment cash for crash pair stage car accident and dial 999 as police warn drivers over fraud gangs' new tactics

Two men were caught on CCTV staging a car accident in Leeds to defraud insurance companies, using fake injury claims and falsely calling emergency services.

The Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED) confirmed the scheme was deliberate, based on CCTV evidence, leading to Mohammad’s conviction for fraud by false representation. The case highlights a rising trend of 'cash-for-crash' scams, with authorities warning the public about new criminal tactics and urging caution, especially around dangerous road intersections.
