Insurance cheats come under the spotlight of the investigators. Today, weeding out a dishonest claim - when forensic experts are called in to investigate the cause of a house fire, they discover an electrical fault was caused by illegal plants being grown in the loft. \n\nA single-minded laptop owner insists call-centre staff should give him a pay-out when he’s not even covered. Personal injury claims are made by a couple following a minor bus collision, but were they even on board at the time? A labourer making a false claim for £90,000 is caught out when his close associates reveal to his insurers what he’s up to. And when a car accident leaves a man with a fear of crowds, insurers are amazed to find footage of him centre stage at a boxing match. \n\nPresented by Naga Munchetty.
