Overview
Four Los Angeles residents, identified as Ruben Tamrazian, Ararat Chirkinian, Vahe Muradkhanyan, and Alfiya Zuckerman, were arrested for allegedly creating fake bear attacks on luxury cars, resulting in insurance fraud claims totaling $141,839. Investigators from the California Department of Insurance determined the 'bear' in the provided video footage was actually a person in a costume, confirmed by a wildlife biologist's review. A bear costume was found in a suspect's home, entailing metal claws presumably used to damage the vehicles. The case is under review for prosecution by the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.
