Apollo 1st Gear April 2, 2008 Share April 2, 2008 April 2, 2008 Man arrested for faking as 'accident victim' to cheat drivers A MAN has been arrested for trying to get compensation from at least two drivers after falsely claiming that they had knocked him down. Police said on Wednesday a woman in her 40s was driving her car onto Lorong 27 Geylang from Sims Avenue on Tuesday at about 11 pm when she heard a loud bang at the rear of her vehicle. She stopped to check. A man sitting by the road claimed that she had knocked into him. The driver wanted to send him to hospital for treatment, but he refused. Instead, he demanded $200 compensation. Police were called. The man was arrested on the spot. Earlier that night, police received a call from another driver, in his late 30s, who said he had met with a similar situation at Lorong 19 Geylang at about 9.30pm. The driver had offered to send the alleged victim to hospital, but the man refused and insisted that the driver give him money in return. When the driver said he would call the police, the man quickly left. Police advise those who may have fallen prey to similar scams to make a report. The suspect, a 32-year-old Chinese man will be charged in court on Thursday for cheating. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_223111.html ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
