3 Arrested in $3M Los Angeles Fraud Ring

Three men were arrested Wednesday and charged in connection with an alleged Los Angeles-based auto fraud ring that authorities said collected about $3 million from staged collisions. Businessman Solomon Morris Davis, 59, of Rancho Palos Verdes; attorney Robert Doran Belshaw, 54, of Marina Del Rey; and physician Timothy Michael Quinn, 30, of Culver City, were scheduled to be arraigned Monday. Davis was being held in lieu of $2.5 million bail, Belshaw in lieu of $200,000 and Quinn in lieu of $30,000. The three men were among six people charged on 28 counts, including conspiracy and insurance fraud. Davis and Belshaw were also charged with failure to file state income tax returns. The other defendants, one of whom remains a fugitive, have not been taken into custody, authorities said.
