Shamim Ali, 53, of Ipswich Road, Norwich, claimed that his car had been vandalised whilst he was at a party. Discrepancies between the engineer’s report and Ali’s account raised alarm bells for his insurer, Zurich, who referred the case to the City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED) for investigation.

Ali pleaded guilty on Friday 4 March 2022 at Suffolk Magistrates Court and was sentenced on the same day to 120 hours of unpaid work. He was also ordered to pay £1,200 in compensation to his victim.
