WAKE COUNTY COUPLE CHARGED WITH INSURANCE FRAUD, ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN PROPERTY UNDER FALSE PRETENSE

The following information was released by the North Carolina Department of Insurance:

North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced the arrests of Gurjant Singh Gill, 42, and Karmpreet Kaur Gill, 41, of 8037 Remington Heights Drive, Raleigh. Each was charged with one count of insurance fraud and one count of attempting to obtain property by false pretense, all felonies.

Special agents with the Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division accuse the Gills of submitting insurance claims to multiple insurance companies for the same damage to their roof in less than two years. After receiving a settlement from State Farm for roofing damage on Oct. 10, 2025, the Gills sought to obtain $30,000 from Homesite Insurance by filing a claim for the same roofing damage, according to arrest warrants.

The Gills surrendered to authorities at the Wake County Sheriff's Office on May 21 and were each released on a $5,000 secured bond.

Commissioner Causey encourages North Carolinians to help keep insurance premiums low by reporting suspicious fraud. "Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime," Commissioner Causey said. "It hits all of us in the pocket through higher premiums."
