Woodbridge Man Sentenced In Motorcycle Insurance Scheme

WOODBRIDGE, NJ-- A Woodbridge man was sentenced to three years in prison as part of an insurance scheme centered around his motorcycle, state officials said. The man pled guilty.

Lew Alicock, 32, had made claims to his insurance company in May of 2013 that parts were stripped off of his motorcycle on two separate occasions. In actuality, Alicock had directed a repair shop to remove the parts, and then falsely claimed they had been stolen.

Four days after making the fale claims, Alicock reuturned to the repair shop and had the parts placed back on, including fairings and the slip over the exhaust.

As part of his punishment, Alicock must pay back $5,512.96 to Pacific Specialty Insurance Company.

This is not the only time Alicock attempted a similar scheme. He admitted to attempting the same scheme in Nov. 2013 while living in Newark, using Rider Insurance. That company did not approve his claims.
