The sophisticated theft of a luxury car is revealed to be an inside job when the fraudsters are caught out by tracking technology. A middleweight boxer who claimed his career was on the ropes following an accident reveals online that he’s fighting fit. A couple trying to scam the system by claiming for the same luxury jewellery twice are caught red-handed. A sailor chasing a big pay-out after being injured in an accident on board ship finds himself in choppy waters, and fraudsters trying to get away with an elaborate crash-for-cash scam are caught out on CCTV.
