Los Angeles railway littered with thousands of parcels stolen from trains

Thousands of parcels have been scattered across the railway tracks in east Los Angeles.

According to locals, thieves have been targeting trains, both moving and stationary, to try and steal packages.

This section of railway is being cleared by Union Pacific who operate the line - they've had to do so multiple times over the last three months.
