Cash for crash

Two fraudsters who arranged for a 12-tonne bus to run into a car as part of a “cash for crash” insurance scam are thought to be behind dozens more fake collisions across the North of England.

Mohammed Omar Gulzar and Shoaib Nawaz, from Sheffield, were jailed for a total of eight years yesterday for masterminding a series of deliberate or non-existent crashes as part of a major fraud conspiracy.
