Thieves Raiding Cargo Containers, Stealing Packages On Downtown Section Of Union Pacific Train Tracks

Thieves have been raiding the cargo containers, taking packages that belong to people from all over the country from retailers like Amazon, REI and others.
The refuse left behind, like home COVID test kits, are items that the robbers did not want or did not think were valuable enough to take. [This is the state of affairs we live in. Since petty theft is no longer prosecuted, this is what we get.]
Sources told CBSLA that the locks Union Pacific uses are easy to cut, and officials with the Los Angeles Police Department said they don’t respond to reports of a train robbery unless Union Pacific asks them for help, which they said is rare. [Baloney, no Union Pacific locks. The railroad is transporting the trailers and containers of its customers who lock their own equipment. As a side note, railroads transport a lot of consumer goods in containers coming in from China, and virtually no domestic products. Enjoy what remains as soon we will salute the CCP flag.]
While CBSLA was on the scene with cameras, one person was seen running off with a container used to hold smaller packages, and a Union Pacific officer was spotted chasing after two other people who appeared to be rifling through packages. [Chasing then what? Nothing. For sure, the same officers would have no problem arresting a peaceful protester exposing Covid tyranny. Any George Soros-backed DA would be happy to prosecute the right-winger “domestic terrorist.” Indeed, to make a scene exposing the use of pornography for “sex education” during a school board meeting is grounds for an FBI investigation of the complainer as a “serious threat to national security.”]
CBSLA also obtained video of University of Southern California Campus Police arresting a suspected thief last month. According to officers, the suspect’s bag was filled with stolen goods taken from the train tracks. [How about the National Guard? No, as that would be an “inappropriate use” of resources. After all, the Natual Guard bent the knee for the fiery but mostly peaceful protesters.]
A source with knowledge of the issue told CBSLA that Union Pacific cleaned up this area of tracks three months ago, and again only about 30 days ago, though the area is already littered with new discarded boxes. [In plain daylight and everybody just looks the other way. In fact, if a citizen were to intervene, they would be made the criminal.]
Another video shows crews with Union Pacific cleaning up the area on December 11. Around that same time, someone snapped a photo of boxes spilling out of the back of a train car. [Note the news article lacks photos or video of the perpetrators. Politically Incorrect to do so?]
CBSLA found a package and entered the tracking number information, which came back as “in transit,” saying it would arrive today. When CBSLA called the person listed in the transaction and asked if they recently sent a package back to Amazon, they said:
“Yeah, I mean, I sent several stuff back.” [Seems like a stellar citizen.]
Yet another Amazon package had the name and number of a woman in Washington. CBSLA called her and asked if she sent something back to Amazon recently and whether she knew if the package had made it back to its destination.
“Yeah, I don’t even know what would be in that box. I buy so much from Amazon and send so much stuff back that I wouldn’t even know what it was,” she responded. [That is a rich statement.]
In a statement to CBSLA, Union Pacific said:
“Union Pacific is very concerned about the increased cargo thefts in California, and we have taken several steps to address this criminal activity. These rail crimes pose a serious safety threat to the public, our employees and local law enforcement officers.
“We have increased the number of Union Pacific special agents on patrol, and we have utilized and explored additional technologies to help us combat this criminal activity. We also will continue to work with our local law enforcement partners and elected leaders.” [Elected leaders? This has to be a joke.]
However, law enforcement who work these tracks told CBSLA that they don’t see thieves shipping off any time soon. [Shipping off… ?]
