A Sydney man has faced court accused of staging dozens of car crashes across the city’s south-west to pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars from fraudulent insurance claims.

Detectives claim the alleged scheme involved fake identities and 45 cars.

The 66-year-old is accused of staging 16 car crashes, netting him almost $400,000 from insurance payouts.

His court appearance came after Campsie detectives arrested him at Sydney Airport in July following an 18-month investigation.

Police claim Ahmed used fake identities to take out third-party insurance on cars which were later driven into other parked vehicles before a claim was lodged.

Ahmed is charged with two fraud offences, one for allegedly pocketing $390,000 from the insurance claims and the other for attempting to claim another $73,000.
