Train robberies in the Western United States have escalated, leading to millions in stolen Nike merchandise. At least 10 robberies occurred since March, with an estimated loss of $2 million. These crimes, reminiscent of Old West train heists, involve sophisticated methods used by an international syndicate from Mexico's Sinaloa state. Law enforcement apprehended suspects who employed tactics such as cutting train braking systems to facilitate their thefts. The increasing frequency of these robberies poses significant challenges for authorities as they address the growing trend of train burglaries and organized crime.
In a series of brazen train robberies across the Western U.S., thieves have stolen millions in Nike merchandise, drawing parallels to Old West crimes.
Authorities report that train burglaries have surged over the past two years, primarily targeting BNSF Railway and involving complex methods by international crime syndicates.
