MARYSVILLE – A 29-year-old man was arrested Sept. 17 after detectives found a suspected “chop shop.”
Detectives found three stolen vehicles, several dismantled vehicles and numerous vehicle parts at the 3100 block of 87th Ave NE.
Detectives had been at the location previously that day to serve the suspect for failure to appear in court on previous vehicle theft charges.
Stolen vehicles and parts have been recovered from this address on two other occasions, Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said in a news release.
The suspect, who lives at the address, was booked in Marysville Jail on theft of a motor vehicle, illegal wrecking yard and outstanding warrants.
The arresting Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force is a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement task force that works to reduce auto theft, recover stolen vehicles, and increase the arrest and prosecution of auto theft suspects.
