A few days ago, the Houston police found stolen cars worth over 1 million dollars. It is a long-prepared operation of catching thieves who have been stealing expensive cars for a long time and disassembling them into parts.

This is the second case of the discovery of large sites for dismantling stolen vehicles. Previously, the police in San Joaquin found vehicles worth $600,000, and among them were examples of the new Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro.

After a six-month investigation, the police arrested three people in several locations, and now they are trying to return the vehicles to their owners. Several agencies participated in this operation, and no one expected to find such valuable cars. The cars were found in service shops, and police believe these places are linked to the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion cartel. It is one of the most powerful and dangerous cartels in Mexico, known for extreme violence and smuggling of the deadliest substances.

The first estimates were that the cars were worth several hundred thousand dollars, but after 14 vehicles were found, they realized they had a jackpot. The total value of the cars was over $1 million, which means the average vehicle value is just over $71,000.
