Monday, November 26th, 2007 — A three-year search will end tomorrow when police detectives travel to New York City to pick up accused auto insurance fraud "runner" Joel "Nikko" Vega and bring him back to Lawrence. Vega, a former city resident, has been eluding prosecution since his September 2004 indictment by a special grand jury investigating auto insurance fraud. He is accused of organizing phony accidents, and helping local law offices and medical clinics profit from the scams.
