Auto Fraud—Oklahoma

Amount: $28,068

 

Arrest warrants have been issued for two men for insurance fraud. A 2014 Chevy pickup truck was reported stolen in December 2014. The claim was settled for $28,068. However, the wheels and tires were spotted on another vehicle, and the owner of that vehicle stated that he bought the equipment from the friend of the original owner. Apparently the owner of the vehicle gave the friend the keys to the truck and said it “needed to go away”; the truck belonged to a roommate who could no longer make payments on the vehicle. The pickup truck was buried in order for the owner to be able to claim it was stolen.
