Because the LA District Attorney's Office has decided that this blatant theft is not worthy of their time to bother with prosecution. So, of course, it is increasing. Union Pacific threatens to leave LA, citing rampant cargo theft.
Is the Left doing everything it can to make the supply chain problems worse?
UP has its own police department which has increased patrols. Agents have made over 100 arrests, but UP says it hasn’t been contacted about any court proceedings. That’s because the thieves are rarely prosecuted.
The company sent a letter to LA County District Attorney George Gascón’s office last month about the 160% increase in theft. It wants the DA to reconsider a December 2020 special directive that calls for a number of misdemeanor charges to be dismissed.
The DA's office is in full spin mode, but the images that are all over the place make that a bit hard to do.
The thieves break into railroad containers and empty the goods on site. “Once the goods have been tossed out of moving freight trains, others swoop in looking for the most valuable items,” ABC 7 reports.
The Leftist DAs WANT chaos. It is why they were elected. The new DA in NYC said that not prosecuting crimes will make people safer. From what, he did not say.
