An organised crime group that fraudulently obtained over £320,000 through a 'crash for cash' scheme has pleaded guilty to fraud charges, according to the London City police.

Raju Patel and Kamlesh Vadukul, who led the group, submitted insurance claims and applications to a vehicle repair finance service for road traffic collisions that were either staged or never occurred. The remaining eight members either orchestrated the collisions or provided their details to facilitate the fraudulent claims.

An investigation by the City of London Police's Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED) led to guilty pleas from two members of the group at Birmingham Crown Court:

Kamlesh Vadukul, 36, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation and money laundering.

Amarjit Dhaliwal, 45, also known as Amo Singh, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation.

The other members initially denied the charges, but during the first week of their trial, they also submitted guilty pleas:
