Ex-Met officer admits role in ‘crash for cash’ scam

by R.Donald


In one incident on 11 March 2016, a member of the group, Raiyaan Anwar, deliberately drove a Tesco delivery van into the back of a white Citroën being driven by Singh.

Four other passengers in the car were also involved in the scam.

Anwar, 32, admitted liability for the crash to his employer, leading to five fraudulent personal injury compensation claims totalling £33,362 – although only £912 was ultimately paid out.

Singh also ran a car hire company, ADK Supreme, with another man, Alper Emin, 55.

The pair obtained high-value vehicles on finance and rented them out to individuals who would have been unlikely to be able to afford the vehicles themselves, according to CPS.

After one client of ADK Supreme crashed a rented Mercedes, Singh and Emin lied to avoid liability, falsely claiming a burglary had taken place at the company’s address and that the key to the crashed vehicle had been stolen.

Singh received £16,145 from an insurance company following the false claim to cover the damage.

CPS said that Singh had claimed three other leased cars, which were either involved in crashes or issued with road traffic violation tickets, had been cloned in an attempt to avoid being held responsible.
