A MAN who crashed a car on average every three days for almost three years in an insurance scam has been arrested.
The 42-year-old made 334 insurance claims in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, between 2010 and May 2012, local television said yesterday.
He drove up behind other cars during rush hour, bumping into them slowly to avoid being injured, police told Shenzhen TV.
He then bribed mechanics to overestimate the damage and claimed for the inflated invoices, which totalled 357,000 yuan (US$58,160), the report said.
Motor vehicle insurance fraud is thought to be widespread in China.
Last year police broke up a 13 million yuan insurance scam involving 95 suspects who were said to have faked car accidents.
