Shocking aerial photos have captured the debris of a thousand shredded packages along a California railway that were left behind in the midst of a cargo looting crisis.
The Los Angeles area has continued to see a rising trend in thieves looting from cargo containers carrying valuable items on Union Pacific tracks from companies including Amazon, REI and UPS that were bound for West Coast residences.
The photos capture the discarded packages left behind by the looters that have since blanketed the tracks with a considerable length of debris.
A series of discarded products such as unused COVID test vials and pharmaceutical drugs that were considered to be dispensable were also discarded.
Packages have also been seen spilling from open containers as thieves have been using materials such as bolt cutters to break the locks when the train is either stopped or slowly moving.
An increased security presence on the railway has since been enforced by Union Pacific to catch potential looters surveying the area.
