Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy is expected to announce today that her office has shut down one of the largest chop shop rings in the Detroit metropolitan area, with the assistance of Detroit police.

Generally, a chop shop is an operation where stolen cars are stripped, sometimes for parts or scrap metal.

It’s believed that hundreds of cars may be involved in the ring, said Maria Miller, Worthy’s spokeswoman.

A press conference to announce charges is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
