Engineering Firm Raided In Criminal Probe of Sandy Claims Denials

Investigators for the state attorney general executed a search warrant Wednesday at a Uniondale engineering firm in connection to a criminal probe examining whether property damage reports were forged to deny insurance claims to superstorm Sandy victims, authorities said. Authorities arrived at the offices of GEB HiRise on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard shortly after 9 a.m. A spokeswoman for Attorney General Eric Schneiderman confirmed the raid, but declined to comment further.
