Woman accused of trying to take money without completing repair work after Hurricane Irma

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — A woman has been arrested for a second time for trying to take money without completing repair work after Hurricane Irma.

The Florida Department of Financial Services says Mary Bruce was arrested in Volusia County in January for approaching roofing companies and homeowners and telling them she was a claims manager.

Investigators said she told victims she could get them insurance claim settlements up to $30,000 if they signed a power of attorney document.
