Arrest after 'chop shop' found in industrial unit
GoogleA man has been arrested after police found what they called a "chop shop" on an industrial estate in Norfolk.
Officers were alerted to suspicious activity inside a unit at Snetterton Business Park in Harling Road, near Attleborough, on Thursday.
They found four cars and a number of car parts which were thought to be stolen.
Police said a man in his 20s was arrested in Norwich on Friday on suspicion of theft, handling stolen goods and possession of Class B or Class C drugs.
He was released on bail until January.
A police spokesperson said: "It’s believed the premises was being used as a 'chop shop' - where vehicles are illegally dismantled or 'chopped up' for parts and sold on for a profit.
"Officers have spent five days dismantling the site and inquiries are now under way to ensure the safe return of the vehicles, which were stolen in London, to their owners."
