Jun 24, 2013, 7:03 AM | Updated: 7:11 am

A pair of chop shops busted in the last week led cops to dozens of stolen cars and a missing 16-year-old girl.

Cops believe two men stole more than 30 cars and trucks from Everett and Marysville over the last few months to pay for their heroin and meth addictions.

The Herald reports when the Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force got involved they discovered a chop shop in the Lake Goodwin area and made two arrests.

Another stolen car ring has been busted in Seattle’s Beacon Hill neighborhood. Police there found six stolen cars and when they served a search warrant at a nearby home, discovered several men with outstanding warrants and a 16-year-old girl who had been reported missing.
