In a bizarre twist on insurance fraud, four Los Angeles residents were arrested for allegedly staging a fake bear incident to defraud insurers out of $142,000.
The California Insurance Department explained that the group submitted video evidence of a bear in luxury cars, which was later identified as a person in a bear costume.
Insurers became suspicious after reviewing video footage; a biologist confirmed it was 'clearly a human in a bear suit,' not an actual bear responsible for the damage.
Following a thorough investigation, detectives discovered the bear costume in the suspects' home, supporting their case against this unusual scheme of insurance fraud.
