Insurance Fraud Arrests Made in Miami

Several arrests were made Monday as Miami Police targeted insurance fraud suspects after a months-long investigation.

Two women and a doctor were charged after a search warrant was served at Brothers Medical Center at 3990 West Flagler Street following an investigation that began last September, police said.

Dr. Angel Amado Lazo, 79, therapist Clara Segura, 43, and front desk employee Arlene Garcia are charged with false or fraudulent insurance claims, third-degree grand theft and organized scheme to defraud, police said. It's unknown if they have attorneys.

The arrests were made by the police department's staged accident detail, which is part of a federal taskforce. The taskforce made eight other arrests in a separate case Monday morning on similar charges.
