John Schreiber, a photojournalist at CBS LA, posted the viral footage Thursday that many online compared to a third world country being run by California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to #LincolnHeights to see it all,” he tweeted. “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.”

I’m told by law enforcement these @UPS bags are especially sought after by thieves opening cargo containers… they are often full of boxes with merchandise bound for residential addresses. More valuable than say, a cargo container full of low value bulky items like toilet paper. pic.twitter.com/Tj5bQNIeby

Schreiber said many of the packages were headed for the Pacific Northwest and the robbers used the train’s stop at the Union Pacific Intermodal facility in downtown Los Angeles to break into the containers.

As you can see, trains frequently slow or stop in this area as they get worked into the @UnionPacific Intermodal facility near Downtown LA. The thieves use this opportunity to break open containers and take what’s inside. I’d say every 4th or 5th rail car had opened containers. pic.twitter.com/PHpujyB84M

He also reported that the area is under the Union Pacific Police’s patrol, not the LAPD, and they saw officers two people off the tracks Thursday.

Responsibility for policing the railroad right of way falls on Union Pacific Police… not local agencies like LAPD. We did see Union Pacific police chasing two people today off the tracks and keeping an eye on things. pic.twitter.com/M5aQSrkGZW
