DURHAM — A Durham woman has been charged with insurance fraud after investigators say she altered police reports.
Mary Teresa Whitman Few, 43, submitted a claim for $3,950 worth of stolen property to American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida in February. She then submitted a related police report the next month, according to a news release from the N.C. Department of Insurance.

American Bankers received a report directly from the Durham Police Department that differed from the one Few submitted, the release states, and representatives found other discrepancies between a claim Few filed in April 2011 and official reports. Investigators say Few altered the documents to obtain payments, according to the news release.
Few is charged with one felony count each of insurance fraud, obtaining property by false pretense and attempting to obtain property by false pretense. She is being held in the Durham County Jail under a $10,000 secured bond.
