An ongoing investigation into a multimillion dollar Central Ohio fraud and theft ring has already resulted in prison sentences for three fraudsters and suspended sentences for three others. Three other people are facing trial for their involvement in the fraud ring as well.
The ring's fraudulent conduct to date totals approximately $3.5 million in Ohio's Licking, Franklin and Delaware counties.
The investigation began after a suspicious insurance claim was submitted in January 2006 by the group's ringleader – Huey Granderson. After a lengthy investigation, a search warrant was carried out at Granderson's residence in July 2007. Multiple indictments followed shortly thereafter. By April of 2008, nine of the ring's participants were indicted by a Fairfield County Grand Jury on charges of falsifying mortgage and vehicle loan documents to fraudulently obtain financing, theft of vehicles and equipment, money laundering and tax evasion.
