16 people have been arrested in a statewide crackdown on auto insurance fraud. Governor Kathy Hochul, who announced the arrests on Tuesday, says a joint investigative partnership with State Police and the State Department of Financial Services uncovered nearly $500,000 in attempted fraudulent claims across more than a dozen cases. One of the arrests was made in Erie County. Earlier this year, Hochul enacted reforms to combat schemes that drive up car insurance costs for New Yorkers.
