- A Southern California fraud involved wearing bear suits to fake damage on high-end cars like Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz.
- The perpetrators submitted multiple false insurance claims totaling $141,839, two of which were paid out by insurance companies.
- Investigation of surveillance footage revealed human actions disguised as a bear, leading to exposure of the scheme.
- The defendants pleaded no contest and were sentenced to 180 days in jail with probation and ordered to pay restitution.
What may have looked unbelievable turned out to be exactly that — and now those responsible are being held accountable,— State Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara said in a statement.
