California insurance scammers in bear costumes attacked cars, officials say

Four California insurance scammers are under arrest after dressing in bear costumes and attacking luxury cars, officials say.

Authorities said the scammers claimed a bear damaged their luxury vehicles — including a Rolls-Royce and a Mercedes. But wildlife experts said evidence showed it was clearly a person in a bear costume.

The suspects are being charged with $140,000 in insurance fraud.
