The Tucson Police Department cracked down on an Arizona metal recycling business in late August for accepting stolen vehicles and ATM machines, arresting four people. After a three-month undercover operation, authorities arrested Sims Metal Management employees Cesar Tovar, 58, Hector Fuentes, 52, Marco Acuna, 40, and Salvador Hernandez-Perez, 23, charging each with one count of operating a chop shop. The department first warned Sims Metal Management about accepting suspicious items in 2007, and investigators later found illegal activity still taking place, leading to a sting operation that began in May, said Sgt. James Wakefield, supervisor of the department's auto theft detail. Wakefield said any "reasonable person" would've noticed something wasn't right with the undercover deliveries.
