Desert Eagle Mark XIX<\/a><\/p>\n

3 sentenced in ‘unbelievable’ bear attack insurance scam<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Gillian Mohney
\nMultiple people in Glendale have been sentenced in a bizarre felony insurance fraud case involving a bear costume and luxury cars.<\/p>\n

Officials from the California Department of Insurance launched the investigation back in 2024 after an insurance company flagged an unusual claim of a Rolls-Royce Ghost sedan being damaged after a bear climbed inside near Lake Arrowhead. The grainy surveillance footage appeared to show a bear rummaging through the vehicle, and photos submitted showed scratches on the interior of the car, which can retail for over $400,000 when new.<\/p>\n

But the video and photos from the scene didn\u2019t look quite right. During the investigation, detectives sent the footage to a biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, who \u201cconcluded the animal shown was clearly a human in a bear suit,\u201d according to the news release from the California Department of Insurance. The team then realized similar claims had been made about damage to two Mercedes vehicles.<\/p>\n

After a search of the suspects\u2019 homes, detectives discovered a bear costume complete with what appeared to be a stainless steel meat shredder claw used to mimic the bear attack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Can’t make this up. California of course.<\/p>\n

Gun bans don’t disarm criminals, gun bans attract them.
