Insurance scam in Draguignan: burns his vehicle before confessing everything

That night, at around 00:30, police officers at Draguignan Police Station received a call from a witness who reported the vehicle burning. He told police he had seen a man carrying out repairs on one of the cars the day before.

The same witness also specified that in the evening he had seen a masked individual of the same corpulence set fire to said vehicle using a piece of cardboard and a petrol can. Something to chip the police ear…

He could not afford to repair his vehicle.

With the help of CCTV, the police quickly recognize and suspect one of the owners.

After making a complaint to the police station, he was interrogated and then placed in police custody.

The 40-year-old Dracénois will end up acknowledging the facts, explaining that he set his vehicle on fire, due to lack of means to repair it.

The man is the subject of a summons by a judicial police officer (Copj) next March, before a criminal court. He faces five years in prison and a fine of 375,000 euros for insurance fraud.
