They had insurance from multiple providers, so same car insured from a few different companies.

Detectives found two additional claims and with two different insurance companies for the four with the same date of loss and at the same location.

I think that would be against the terms of the policy for the types of insurance you can get here in Sweden, so basically another level of fraud. But yeah, that makes sense, you could double/triple-dip and get ahead that way.
