An unprecedented robbery of a freight train took place in Chicago today.
Oku.Az“ABC Chicago” shared footage of the incident.
The robbery reportedly took place in South Austin. According to witnesses, at least 12 people robbed the train for about an hour before police arrived.
The railway company “Union Pacific”, commenting on the incident, explained that the train stopped while waiting for the opportunity to continue its movement along the partner company’s track. At that moment, the thieves began to break into the carriages and open the containers.
