Muscat: Two Omani nationals were arrested on suspicion of involvement in an insurance scam in Northern Batinah.
The suspects reportedly staged an auto accident and set fire to one of the cars in a bid to obtain compensation through fraud from the insurance firm.
They then informed the police officers in Liwa that their cars had collided on an internal road.
However, an investigation revealed that the two fraudsters had staged the accident.
The case has been referred to the judicial authorities to take legal action.
