A vehicle ‘chop shop’ and a significant quantity of parts have been found after a police discovery in Accrington.
On Friday afternoon, officers made the discovery in the Spring Hill area of Accrington, which contained a significant amount of vehicle parts, as well as two confirmed stolen vehicles.
Enquiries are ongoing.
Officers are appealing for anybody with information about the suspected chop shop to come forward.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: ‘’Chop shops are dangerous and provide a thriving market for car thieves.
‘’Stolen cars are sold on to these chop shops where they are quickly stripped for parts. Often, these parts are then used to repair a car that’s been written off by an insurance company and bought by the chop shop as salvage.
‘’Chop shops are putting lives at risk, creating a demand for stolen cars, and damaging the reputation of legitimate salvage yards.
‘’Anybody with information is asked to contact us on 101, quoting log 665 of 11th of September, or by anonymously contacting Crimestoppers.’’
