The Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department catch up with the short-tempered serial fraudster who terrorised claims handlers as he chased payment for a string of claims, an attempt at a crash-for-cash scam backfires when CCTV footage supplied by the claimant to rubber-stamp their claim shows what really happened, and a bogus claim for a pair of stolen mobile phones is cut off by investigators when the claimant's story fails to ring true.
