The Seattle PI reported today on a Bike Chop Shop in North Seattle.
When officers got to the roughly 10-by-10-foot unit, they found it “stacked floor-to-ceiling with disassembled bicycles (frames, wheels, accessories) and recognized them as mostly high-value and some specialized bikes,” North Precinct Detective Dain Jones wrote in an affidavit used to obtain a search warrant. “The bikes and parts were stacked in jumbles without any reasonable effort at organization or for concern of damage; they were literally piled in heaps against each other.”
Sounds more like a crack house than Chop Shop.
