A 55-year-old Indianapolis man is facing charges after police recovered 16 stolen vehicles and nearly $4,000 in cash inside an alleged chop shop on the city’s near northeast side.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Anthony Scott Owens was detained after an investigation that began on Sunday when detectives responded to the 2800 block of North Euclid Avenue to recover a stolen car.
During the recovery, detectives saw suspicious activity associated with a chop shop operation, which is a facility where stolen automobiles are disassembled and their parts sold for profit.
Police obtained a search warrant after discovering that stolen vehicles had previously been found in the same place and were being stripped for parts.
