Loudoun officers uncover chop shop in Vint Hill
Loudoun officers uncover chop shop in Vint HillWednesday, May. 21, 2014 by By Julie A. Taylor, Fauquier Times
Purcellville and Loudoun investigators uncovered a Vint Hill-area chop shop – and a suspect who tried to hide by changing one letter of his last name.
Gordon Kerr, 59, was charged with five counts of possession of a vehicle with an altered identification. He was arrested by U.S. Marshals after an investigation into an operation in the 6500 block of Vint Hill Road, where Kerr allegedly had been dismantling stolen cars and altering them for resale, according to a search warrant filed in Fauquier County Circuit Court.
Police recovered four Corvettes, a Ford van and a 2012 Dodge Ram truck.

Agent Mike Jones with the Virginia State Police said that Kerr had been re-vinning vehicles since 1993, and had cases pending in Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Manassas and Loudoun counties as well as in Maryland.
