Scots fraudster who hid BMW in dead sister-in-law's garage in theft scam dodges jail

A driver who reported his car stolen and hid it in his dead sister-in-law's garage dodged jail. Graham Harris pocketed more than £5,000 from his insurers but was caught after police spotted the BMW being taken away for repairs.

The fiscal added: "Police liaised with an AA fraud investigator and were advised about the theft claim that had been made.

First offender Harris was ordered to pay £1,500 compensation to the insurance firm after Sheriff Ross Macfarlane heard that nearly £4,000 has
