Vehicle Theft – Washington

A Washington man is wanted by authorities for failing to appear in court to face felony charges of theft and filing a false insurance claim.

In the course of the investigation of the damages, the adjuster found a tow truck receipt for the vehicle dated and timed several hours before the insured purchased the policy.
