A Folsom couple was arrested by Louisiana State Police this week for insurance fraud after they allegedly lied about how their car, which was found abandoned and burned in eastern New Orleans, was stolen in the French Quarter. The arrests Tuesday of Franklin Gambino, 41, and his wife, Madeline Gambino, 35, followed an investigation into a complaint by State Farm insurance company, said Trooper Nick Manale, a Louisiana State Police spokesman.
An investigation revealed that the Gambinos in July of 2011 submitted a theft loss claim for their 2009 Ford Flex, alleging the car had been stolen from the French Quarter. Shortly after reporting the vehicle stolen to the New Orleans Police Department, the Ford was discovered burned and abandoned in eastern New Orleans, troopers said.
Eventually, troopers discovered that the Gambinos had not been in the French Quarter on the night of the supposed theft but in eastern New Orleans, where the car was recovered.
"The investigation concluded that the Gambinos intentionally misrepresented their whereabouts prior to the theft and filed a fraudulent claim through their St. Tammany State Farm insurance office," Manale said in a statement.
After troopers obtained warrants for their arrest, the Gambinos turned themselves in. Troopers accordingly booked the couple into the St. Tammany Parish jail in Covington, Manale said.
