Three men were sentenced to at least a year in prison, but won't serve time, and ordered to pay $10,500 in restitution and investigative costs after they hid a motorcycle so they could report it stolen and reap its value in insurance, the Nevada attorney general announced Wednesday.
The men from Las Vegas, Henderson and Florida were sentenced for insurance fraud, a category "D" felony, Attorney General Adam Laxalt announced in a release.
The three defendants, 41-year-old Steven Martin Shaw of Las Vegas, 48-year-old Gary Kruger of Henderson, and 42-year-old Joseph Hughes of Florida, were arrested in Operation Pure Luck, a multi-agency investigation targeting violent crime and motorcycle gangs in the Las Vegas area, the release said.
Shaw was sentenced to 12 to 32 months in prison and Hughes and Kruger were sentenced to 12 to 30 months. All terms were suspended and the men were placed on probation for no more than a year.
