Waterloo Regional Police say a Cambridge man has been arrested and charged after officers found a motorcycle chop shop in Kitchener.

In a news release on Friday, police said officers found a stolen motorcycle at a storage facility in Kitchener on Aug. 20.

That led to a search warrant being carried out, which helped officers find the chop shop.

Police said about 10 motorcycles were found along with several others in various states of being dismantled.

On Thursday, police arrested a 34-year-old man from Cambridge and the service said officers found a stolen trailer with two more motorcycles and several parts.
