Police said they found the stolen motorcycles at Falbo's home after receiving a crime tip and following up with a search warrant. On one of the motorcycles, detectives found that the identification numbers had been ground off, but a major component part had been reported stolen in Mobile, Alabama, in 1973.

The other motorcycles were all from St. Clair and Lapeer counties.

Falbo is charged with six counts of receiving and concealing stolen property, which carries a potential jail term of up to five years and/or a $10,000 fine, or three times the value of the motor vehicle, whichever is greater. Falbo was released on $25,000 bond.

An arrest warrant was put out for a second individual, but no arrests have been made.
