This seems to be a case of another criminal that didn’t think their ill-willed plot through. According to David Singleton’s article “Reported stolen car leads to insurance fraud arrest” in The Times Tribune, a man from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania committed car insurance fraud. He reported his car stolen on Christmas Eve last year after it had been involved in a car accident only ten hours earlier. The 29-year-old man told police that he left his car at Chick’s Diner in South Scranton with the keys under the floor mat. He said that his brother picked him up at 3:30 in the morning on Christmas Eve.
Unfortunately for this would-be criminal, the police task force caught him in his lies. After filing an insurance claim and saying that he was not in his car when it was involved in the accident, surveillance video from Chick’s Diner and cell phone records have shown that this 1999 Nissan Maxima was not stolen. It was driven to and from Chick’s by the 29-year-old man. Companies like Estrella Insurance and Dairyland Auto Insurance have to worry about crooks like this when they receive car insurance claims. It’s people like this criminal that can make insurance rates go up for everyone else. Thanks to stellar police work, this time the criminal didn’t get away with his crime.
