Insurance fraudsters used a person in a bear suit to stage fake attacks on high-end vehicles, then submitted fraudulent claims seeking payouts from insurance companies, a California Department of Insurance investigation dubbed “Operation Bear Claw" has revealed.
An investigation began after an insurance company reported a suspicious claim tied to a January 2024 incident in Lake Arrowhead. Suspects claimed a bear entered their 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost and caused interior damage, submitting footage to support the claim.
