Ex-police officer jailed after ‘crash for cash’ scam
A former police officer has been jailed for more than four years for his part in a scam where fraudulent personal injury claims were made after deliberate vehicle crashes.
The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed that while working as a Met Police officer, Kuldip Singh, 42 of no fixed address, was part of a group which organised pre-arranged collisions with vehicles and then made fraudulent claims for compensation from insurance companies.
The ‘crash for cash’ scam saw the group receive thousands of pounds in personal injury and vehicle damage compensation.
The Crown Prosecution Service will not hesitate to prosecute anyone – including those in positions of authority
