Detectives with the Louisiana State Police Insurance Fraud/Auto Theft Unit – Lafayette Field Office on Jan. 31 arrested four Crowley residents in relation to a vehicle crash that authorities say was staged in an insurance fraud scheme.
Detectives at the time said two more individuals are wanted for their role in the fraud scheme.
The initial investigation revealed that on Feb. 11, 2018, two men — 24-year-old Lonnie Lambert of Crowley and 32-year-old Harris Gobar of Breaux Bridge — were involved in a two-vehicle crash in Acadia Parish. After the crash, Lambert and Gobar called four other people to the scene to act as the drivers and passengers, the LSP said. The goal of adding additional people to the crash was to generate fraudulent insurance claims for intentionally damaged property and fake bodily injuries, authorities said.
At the conclusion of the investigation, arrest warrants were obtained for those involved in the crash. Detectives have arrested 21-year-old Jaclin Trahan, 23-year-old Jernai Campbell, both from Crowley, and Lambert on charges of insurance fraud and filing false public records. Temesha Lambert of Crowley, 22, was arrested for insurance fraud.
The above listed suspects were booked into the Acadia Parish Jail.
As of Jan. 31, Gobar and 44-year-old Belinda Hebert of Crowley still had active arrest warrants on insurance fraud charges.
