NYPD Officer Busted After Third False Auto Claim

Fraudulent insurance claims were the center of a scheme implemented by an NYPD officer. He was caught after having burned a Range Rover in addition to two of his other vehicles. By the time feds caught him, GEICO had already issued at least $34,000 in reimbursement payments. That was back in September 2012. The money was promised to the two men if they would help him destroy his gray 2008 Range Rover Sport by crashing and burning it. Law enforcement officers discovered the vehicle in Laurelton, Queens, said court papers. The vehicle had broken windows when it was found. It had been doused with gasoline and burned.
