Houston (AP) - An insurance fraud scheme in which homes were flooded by using water hoses has led to prison for three people.

Prosecutors in Houston on Friday announced the case involves false claims over five years.

A federal judge sentenced 41-year-old Angela Armstrong of Humble, 55-year-old Daniel Hunger of Angleton and 47-year-old Debbie Rampiarie Ramcharan of Humble.

A jury last June convicted Armstrong and Ramcharan on multiple counts of mail fraud, engaging in monetary transactions in criminally derived property and conspiracy.

Hunger pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and conspiracy to engage in monetary transactions in property derived from unlawful activity.

Armstrong must serve more than eight years in prison, plus pay $2.3 million in restitution.

Ramcharan was sentenced to nearly four years in prison and must repay $1.3 million.

Hunger was sentenced to one year in prison and must pay restitution of $1.4 million.
