Three gang members were busted for running a chop shop out of a Fresno home.

Officers found parts from stolen cars as well as guns and methamphetamine at the house near Herndon and Maroa.

The suspects are street racers who were apparently using the stolen parts on their cars.

Sgt. Tim Tietjen with the Fresno Police Department said, "When they break a part on their vehicle or their vehicle breaks down or the lose an engine, they'll steal an engine and replace it in their street racer."

The three suspects are brothers and are all facing auto theft charges.
