Police are investigating what appears to be a staged auto accident, set up with the intention of making a fraudulent insurance claim.
On Monday, November 17, at 11:03 P.M., Drumheller RCMP responded to a single vehicle collision on the North Hill.
Subsequent investigation indicated that a 2008 Nissan Titan was being operated S/B down the North Hill. The vehicle entered the ditch and spun around prior to hitting the ditch back. Extensive damage was done to the front of the truck and the airbags deployed. Some blood was located on the seats.
Foot impressions were observed leaving the vehicle, however no one attended to the hospital nor reported the incident.
The next day, the 26 yr old Female, Registered owner attended to the detachment to report the vehicle stolen from Three Hills. Subsequent investigation revealed that this vehicle was intentionally damaged as an attempt to make a fraudulent insurance claim. The insurance company has been advised. The investigation is continuing at this time.
