Three members of the criminal car gang that handled up to £1m of stolen vehicles were locked up for a combined total of nearly 12 years. An extensive police investigation caught those led by Michael Kozub and Filip Zablocki, who would dismantle stolen vehicles at their 'chop shops'.
Detectives revealed that Kozub, 46, Zablocki, 31, and their cohort were the 'go-to' contacts for thieves across South East England who would deliver them stolen cars. Gang members would then dismantle the vehicles - even chopping a Ferrari in half on one occasion - before moving and later exporting the separate parts.
