(KSLA) - Authorities think the recent arrests of two Northwest Louisiana woman thwarted the potential theft of $600,000 a year.

Their arrests come as a result of a Louisiana State Police investigation begun in March regarding forged documents that allegedly were sent to Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Louisiana, Mutual of Omaha and Colonial Life Insurance Co.
Both women voluntarily surrendered Sept. 21 after learning that State Police had warrants for their arrests.
