A grand jury indicted 26 Orlando area residents on charges of making fraudulent claims for federal assistance after the two hurricanes that struck the Gulf Coast last year, prosecutors said Thursday.

Federal prosecutors say the defendants collected a total of $150,000 in emergency assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, even though they didn't live in the areas affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The charges include conspiracy, submission of a false claim to a governmental agency, theft of government property, mail fraud, wire fraud, and making a false statement to a government agency. The counts carry prison sentences ranging from five to 20 years.

"In the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, our nation came together to support the people whose lives were devastated by those disasters," U.S. Attorney Paul I. Perez said in a statement Thursday."As we enter a new hurricane season next week, we will aggressively pursue anyone who attempts to take advantage of a natural disaster to defraud FEMA or anyone else."
