The man was arrested on Thursday at his home, where the police found 21 pieces of female genitalia stored in plastic bags in a freezer.
The police also discovered surgical tools and anaesthetic drugs in the man’s house.
A victim of the 58-year old man is said to have alerted the police of the man’s dealings.
