A minor fire triggered the probe of the alleged chop shop.

YOUNGSTOWN — A Mahoning County grand jury has indicted a 74-year-old man accused of running a chop shop on Market Street on 17 counts of receiving stolen property.

The grand jury returned the indictment Thursday against Roosevelt Lewis, of Shehy Street, who was arrested in May after police said they found stolen vehicles and parts of stolen vehicles in what appeared to be a vacant business at 2007 Market St.

A minor fire at the building May 6 led to an investigation that showed the building, which Lewis had rented for about 10 years, was being used as a chop shop, authorities said.
