Four people from Glendale and Valley Village have been arrested for allegedly wearing a fake bear costume — to commit insurance fraud.

The suspects are accused of claiming a bear damaged their vehicles in Lake Arrowhead, sending video footage to their insurance companies when it was really someone wearing an elaborate brown suit with fur.

As part of “Operation Bear Claw,” all four were charged with conspiracy and insurance fraud, the California Department of Insurance announced Wednesday.

“The Department’s investigation began after an insurance company suspected fraud,” the department said in a statement. “Upon further review of the video, the investigation determined that the bear was in fact a person dressed in a bear suit.”

“To further ensure that there was not in fact a bear in the video, the Department had a biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife review the three alleged bear videos and also found it to be clearly a man in a bear suit,” officials said. in a statement.

The bear suit was allegedly found in their home when officials executed a search warrant.

Insurance companies were defrauded of nearly $150,000, officials said.
