Maybe let's try rephrasing it. Knowingly making a false report to the police is a crime. If it happens once or twice or even a few times over several years, that's not such a big deal, mistakes happen.

But in this case, it seems like there are several hundred false reports over several years. It's so much, that Hertz was able to hand over a database of data related to it. This is negligence, they clearly know they are doing something wrong and they know it's harming other people.

If tens or hundreds of your employees are making false reports consistently over many years and you're not doing something to resolve it? I suppose the answer to your question is yes.
