North Texas Arson Investigators Forecasting Increase In Car Fraud Fires
Monday, June 11th, 2018 Auto FraudSevere storms and crowded freeways are just two of the reasons North Texans pay an average of nearly $1,900 a year in annual auto insurance premiums. That’s $400 more than the national average. Another culprit is fraud. THE CBS11 I-Team went behind the scenes with Dallas-Fort Worth arson investigators as they learned the latest trends in car fraud fires. It’s a costly combination: with gas prices, auto interest rates and the expense of car repairs taking off once again, some police and prosecutors predict the number of suspicious car fires will follow. “We’ve actually seen an increase in those cases recently,” said Kyson Johnson, who prosecutes fraud cases for the Texas Department of Insurance.
