"SOUTHALL has become a "hot spot" for criminal car gangs who stage crashes to make fake insurance claims, new figures show. Statistics released this week from the newly-established Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) have revealed that more than 440 accidents have been staged in Southall since 1999. And there is evidence to show the proceeds from this type of fraud are used to fund crimes like drug trafficking and gun-running."
