Police have recovered more than $20,000 worth of stolen property after busting a "bicycle chop shop" inside a north Edmonton home.

As part of an ongoing drug investigation, police executed a search warrant on Sept. 24 inside a residence near the corner of 119th Avenue and 76th Street, near the Edmonton Coliseum formerly known as Rexall Place.

Investigators searched the property and located 24 stolen bicycles, six bike forks, and about 50 bike tires and rims.

A stash of other bike parts and tools used to reassemble and alter a bike's original look was also found on the property, police said in a statement issued Wednesday.

Drugs, break-in tools, weapons and identity documents were also seized.

Investigators believe the bikes were stolen from various locations across the city, modified at the home and then sold for profit on the street.

Six people, ranging in age from 32 to 49, have been charged in the case, and face a long list of charges, including possession of property for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and possession of a controlled substance.

Investigators believe the majority of the bikes recovered were stolen from garage break and enters.

"In northwest division alone, garage break and enters are up 15 per cent since this time last year," Staff Sgt. Jonathan Coughlan said in the statement.

"Make it extra difficult for bad guys – always lock your doors and be sure to remove portable garage door openers from your vehicles.

"Our ultimate goal is to reunite these bikes with their original owners.`
