The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office detained at least seven people Monday at a suspected chop shop, which is defined by the Department of Justice as an illegal facility that disassembles vehicles and sells parts for profit.
At approximately 8:34 a.m., a man reported his white truck stolen, a BCSO spokesperson said Monday. The man had a GPS monitor in his vehicle, which led authorities to its whereabouts in the 17100 block of Benton City Road.
Deputies were dispatched to the Benton City Road location in south Bexar County where they found 21-year-old Reymundo Fabian Carbajal inside the stolen white truck, the sheriff’s office said.
