All of them were intentional accidents aimed at obtaining insurance money and settlement money for vehicles violating traffic laws.



In this way, the police arrested 92 people per day who robbed insurance money of 530 million won 87 times in the Gangnam area for two years from August 2019, and arrested 3 of them.



It was investigated that they committed the crime using a rented vehicle, and used someone else's name to hide the accident history to avoid suspicion of the insurance company.
