Fresno police found stolen property, including cars and drugs at a home near Orange and Church Tuesday afternoon.
24-year-old Michael Crabtree was arrested by the Career Criminal Auto Theft Team.
Investigators say Crabtree was operating a chop shop. He also had several outstanding warrants.
Sgt Timothy Tietjen with the Fresno Police Department's CCAT Team said, "A car that was stolen yesterday in Fresno was found at the chop shop. It was repainted but still in one piece. At this point we found one stolen car that he was in and component parts. We have to work this backwards and kind of look at all these parts and the VIN numbers and whatnot to go ahead and match the vehicles and the component parts to stolen vehicles that we had in the past."
A second suspect was detained but not arrested.
