New Yorker Collects On Theft Claim After Police Impound Her Car

A Brooklyn woman was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly filing a fake insurance claim to a Woodbury company for a car that she knew was seized by police, according to Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas. Gleudys Ilarraza, 46, was charged with third degree insurance fraud and first degree falsifying business records, the DA said. She was released on her own recognizance and is due back in court January 24. If convicted of the top count she faces 2 to seven years in prison. In 2014, a 2009 Buick Enclave that was registered and insured in Ilarraza’s name, was impounded at the time of her boyfriend’s arrest in a DEA drug investigation, the DA said.
