Louisiana State Police Bust Staged Crash Ring
State police have arrested four people for allegedly staging traffic accidents in Ouachita Parish, La.
Detectives tell The News-Star they looked into six of 20 crashes where individuals filed false bodily injury claims.
Trooper says the insurance companies in two of the six crashes paid out more than $18,000 to the suspects.
Seven warrants were signed Monday and arrests were made Tuesday.
Troopers say they are still looking for three suspects in the staged crash ring.
