A “chop shop” was found inside a Fairfield business, police say.

Investigators received a tip that stolen cars were being disassembled at Veracity Stone Fabricators on Daniel Road East.

Authorities say that when officers got to the business, they found a stripped-down Honda CR-V in the back lot which had been reported stolen out of New York City. The engine was found inside the business.

Other suspected stolen vehicles were also found around the property.

Authorities also say a suspicious car came by the property twice during the investigation. It was later stopped and the three people inside were detained. One of those people was charged with drug possession.
