‘Bear attack’ on Rolls-Royce was scam using human in costume, California officials say

Four people charged with insurance fraud and conspiracy after analysis of videos and discovery of bear costume

Four individuals in Los Angeles were arrested on Wednesday and charged with insurance fraud after claiming that a bear had damaged their cars, when the bear in question was actually just a person dressed in a bear costume.

The California department of insurance said that the suspects filed a claim in January of this year, stating that a bear entered their 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost while it was parked at Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino mountains and caused interior damage to the vehicle.
