Three people have been arrested in an insurance fraud case involving the theft of thousands of dollars in auto insurance premiums. Suspects Bella Jenkins, Torrance Blake and David Ball of Insurance Plus in Temple Terrace surrendered to authorities and were charged with insurance fraud and selling insurance without a license.

The division acted after receiving complaints that customers were given automobile insurance coverage quotes by phone only to have the price for the coverage increase greatly at the time of purchase.
