Forensic experts investigating a house fire discover illegal plants being grown in the loft, and close associates spill the beans to insurers about a labourer making false claims.

Insurance cheats come under the spotlight of the investigators. Today, weeding out a dishonest claim - when forensic experts are called in to investigate the cause of a house fire, they discover an electrical fault was caused by illegal plants being grown in the loft.

A single-minded laptop owner insists call-centre staff should give him a pay-out when he鈥檚 not even covered. Personal injury claims are made by a couple following a minor bus collision, but were they even on board at the time? A labourer making a false claim for 拢90,000 is caught out when his close associates reveal to his insurers what he鈥檚 up to. And when a car accident leaves a man with a fear of crowds, insurers are amazed to find footage of him centre stage at a boxing match.
