A tenth person has been caught up in a $10 million Sydney car insurance fraud scam involving local crime syndicates.
The 30-year-old man from Bankstown was charged over an alleged car crash at Lakemba in March 2015, AAP reports.
Police allege he submitted a fraudulent compulsory third party insurance claim of close to $700,000.

The arrest is part of police taskforce Strike Force Ravens’ work, after it was set up last August to investigate syndicates filing false compulsory third-party insurance claims.
The false claims are driving up insurance prices for NSW motorists, the state government says.
More than 80 charges have been laid in relation to a combined fraud of almost $10 million, AAP reports.
