- Officers busted a chop shop while two suspects were in the midst of dismantling stolen cars.
- Suspects had cars and parts strewn across five different storage units in the same area.
- Police recovered three vehicles and five different engine assemblies, alongside other parts.
Chop shops can turn someone’s pride and joy into a husk of itself in short order. To do so, they need to work quickly and, oftentimes, at unexpected hours. What the suspects in this story didn’t expect was for police to come knocking on their door early on a Monday morning. When they did, the gig was up. Now, they are compiling a long list of every part and car they found.
The bust went down on June 30 at the Public Storage facility at 10024 S Harlem Ave in Bridgeview, Illinois. Officers received a call from someone who said they saw dismantled cars in the facility. Sure enough, when the cops arrived, they caught two people in the process of pulling muscle cars apart. In fact, innocent bystanders were also there, unknowingly about to purchase stolen parts from the cars in question.
