Authorities in Hudson County announced that on May 23, Frank Olivero, age 26, of Bayonne, was arrested by members of the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Insurance Fraud Unit following an investigation that determined he submitted a fraudulent insurance claim for a vehicle involved in a motor vehicle collision.
According to officials, Olivero is charged with one count of Insurance Fraud, a third-degree crime.
Officials say he was arrested at the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office in Secaucus on May 23 and released pending his first court appearance.
His first appearance is tentatively scheduled for June 13 in Central Judicial Processing Court.
The investigation determined that Olivero filed a claim with Progressive Insurance Company falsely claiming that the damage sustained by a 2017 Honda Civic occurred while parked in New York City on January 6 when in fact, the damage had occurred before that date.
Prosecutor Suarez credited members of the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Insurance Fraud Unit with the investigation and arrest.
