Dearborn Hts. Man Makes Up Carjacking, Reports Stolen Car To Insurance company: Police

DEARBORN, MI — A Dearborn Heights man is facing charges after police said he made up a carjacking story and reported his car stolen to an insurance company.

Hussein Hazim Hashim Al-Kharsan, 21, was charged with a false report of a felony and insurance-fraudulent acts. He was given a $50,000 bond. His next court date was scheduled for May 17.

Police said Al-Kharsan told officers a man with a knife threw him out of his Dodge Charger and drove away in his car in the area of Greenfield and Tireman roads at 11 p.m. on April 13.

During the investigation, officers found an individual in connection to the incident and determined that Al-Kharsan made up the crime and falsely reported the vehicle stolen to his insurance company, police said.

"Our investigators work diligently on all cases, especially those related to auto theft, in order to reduce the impact of high vehicle insurance rates on our community," Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin said. "We will continue to aggressively pursue justice against any and all persons who falsely accuse others of serious crimes and decrease the quality of life for our area."
