Description
Operation Bear Claw uncovers a wild insurance scam in California, where three individuals used a bear costume to vandalize luxury cars, filing claims for nearly $142,000. The trio pleaded no contest to felony fraud, receiving sentences of weekend jail time, probation, and restitution. The scam was exposed when a wildlife biologist identified the bear as a human in a suit, leading to the discovery of the costume in their home. A fourth person faces court in September.
