Dramatic police bodycam footage shows the moment police break down a door to arrest a serial fraudster. Sam Carr, 34, repeatedly changed his name by deed poll to make £75,000 worth of false travel insurance claims. He used the identities of his friends and family to make the fraudulent claims. Carr took out 13 travel insurance policies with five different firms and made fraudulent claims for lost luggage and money against them.
Carr would supply fake banking documents, utility bills and flight boarding passes to evidence the claims. On some occasions, he booked flights, but did not travel. From the scams, Carr received a total of £11,321. The majority of the claims were not paid out after they were deemed fraudulent. Fraud Squad officers located Carr during a search warrant executed at his cousin’s home with Greater Manchester Police.
