Member Center:
SPOKANE, Wash. - Washington State Patrol's Stolen Vehicle Division tells KHQ officers have busted a motorcycle 'chop-shop' in the 2300 block of E. Hoffman.
The bust is the result of an investigation into a stolen motorcycle that started a month ago after a man reported what looked like his motorcycle being driven through town with a different license plate on it. The license plate was eventually traced back to the Hoffman address. Based on that and other evidence discovered by WSP, a search warrant was issued and executed Tuesday.
State police found 3 stolen motorcycles. Two of the bikes where taken out with parts from at least two or three different parts on them.
Two people where arrested; William Cody Murphy, 21, charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and possession of Marijuana with intent to deliver and Nicole Deherrera, 21, charged with possession of Marijuana with intent to deliver.
WSP says that chop shop busts are down this year because they've been occupied with other investigations outside the city. They usually have about 3 to 4 busts per year and it is always significant when one of these shops is busted.
