The California Department of Insurance Fraud Division has arrested Antioch resident Rudolfo Villasenor, 28, for felony insurance fraud and possession of dangerous drugs/narcotics, along with Ruben Rodriguez, Jr., 25, of Oakley for felony insurance fraud and possession of a stolen handgun and possession of dangerous drugs/narcotics. A third suspect, Catalina Rodriguez, 21, was arrested for felony insurance fraud.
The investigation, conducted in cooperation with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) revealed Catalina Rodriguez, shortly after insuring her 1992 Nissan with Progressive Insurance, allegedly committed insurance fraud when she falsified a claim after reporting her car was stolen from her place of employment. Rodriguez claimed that her vehicle had $5,000 worth of tires and wheels on it when it was stolen.
