Thieves have been raiding cargo containers aboard trains nearing downtown Los Angeles for months, taking packages belonging to people across the US and leaving the tracks blanketed with discarded boxes. Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to #LincolnHeights to see it all. And there’s looted packages as far as the eye can see. Amazon packages, @UPS boxes, unused Covid tests, fishing lures, epi pens. Cargo containers left busted open on trains. @CBSLA pic.twitter.com/JvNF4UVy2K Dozens of freight cars are broken into every day on Los Angeles's railways by thieves who take advantage of train stops to loot packages bought online, leaving thousands of gutted boxes that will never reach their destinations https://t.co/BCizSlXr3t pic.twitter.com/IoCkZhpsia
The packages are from retailers including Amazon, REI and others, CBSLA reported Thursday. The sea of debris left behind includes items that the thieves apparently didn’t think were valuable enough to take.
