Investigators think the legitimate business could have been a cover for a larger operation.
Just after 4 p.m., there were still some police at the scene, and they were referring to the property as a chop shop, but a detective we spoke to said he was not ready to label the business as such.
Investigators said they would stay at the scene until police could remove all of the stolen cars and trucks.
Details were not released about how much money the operation was worth or what types of vehicles were stripped down. Officers found two stolen semi-trucks at the auto parts shop.
