The deputies determined the site was being used as a chop shop, and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Division responded to assist with the investigation.

Two stolen RVs, two stolen trucks, a stolen engine, a transmission, and other parts were recovered.

“Chop shops serve as illegal garages where suspects dismantle cars and sell them for parts. Dismantling the car can be extremely profitable,” the post read.
