Three arrests in fraudulent motor insurance claims probe

Gardaí arrested three men and seized computer records and written documentation as part of an operation against a gang responsible for fraudulent motor insurance claims.

The three men, aged from 20 to 40, were arrested early yesterday at locations in the Millstreet, Mallow and Midleton areas.

A senior Garda spokesman said this brought to 20 the number of people so far questioned as part of “Operation Nascar”.
