A former Kennedy Township police officer pleaded guilty in federal court to charges that he attempted to defraud an insurance company.
Frank A. Caligiuri, 42, of Robinson, pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of mail fraud.
Authorities said Caligiuri in 2009 fraudulently reported to GEICO Insurance that his Harley Davidson motorcycle had been stolen and collected insurance proceeds from the alleged theft. Caligiuri then sold the vehicle in a sale arranged and surveillenced by federal law enforcement agents, who were conducting an undercover investigation.
