Police on Chicago’s West Side are questioning three men after officers busted what they said was a large criminal fencing operation that sold stolen goods out of a West Side graystone.
Austin District police executed a search warrant at a two-flat building in the 4300 block of West Congress Parkway in the West Garfield Park neighborhood about 5:20 p.m. Sunday, police said.
Police suspected the building of being the site of a fencing operation well known to neighbors.
When they searched the building, officers found a large number of stolen items, including power tools, bicycles, construction equipment, televisions and other electronics, police said. Officers also found a truck and a trailer on the property.
The three men were still being questioned this morning.
