Two brothers ran a ‘chop shop’, breaking down high end stolen cars and selling the parts on eBay - and raking in more than £120,000. Connor and Kieran Maher operated out of a Radcliffe mill and took around 16 new and expensive cars which they broke down in order to sell parts on.
The cars recovered ranged from wholly intact, to merely wheels and panels, Minshull Street Crown Court heard. Many of the cars could almost be fitted back together.
Connor, 29, had set up an eBay account under the name ‘connormaher92’ before changing it to ‘C.Parts’. The site substantially increased in traffic following the Connor and Kieran’s from custody for separate offences.
