LOS ANGELES - A year-long investigation into the theft of train cargo resulted in the arrest of 91 people, the Los Angeles Police Department announced.

Since July 2021, law enforcement agencies in Southern California, were investigating a series of train burglaries that occurred in Los Angeles.

Shocking images, taken in January 2022, showed thousands of torn up packages and boxes stretched along the Union Pacific rail lines east of Downtown Los Angeles.

Cargo thieves would break into the containers, as the trains slow down or stop in the area, go through packages and take what they can.

...

91 people were arrested and $18 million worth of stolen train cargo was recovered.
