Los Angeles police recover $1.46 million in stolen train cargo, including Nike shoes and power tools

Police recovered nearly $1.5 million in stolen train cargo, including Nike shoes and power tools, while conducting a major cargo theft investigation in Los Angeles this week. 

According to a news release from the Los Angeles Police Department, officers working with Union Pacific Railroad Police and several other local law enforcement agencies served a search warrant in the 4300 block of Verona Street on Monday. 

"During the operation, detectives recovered an estimated $1,460,000 in stolen train cargo, including Nike shoes, Milwaukee tools, and electronic equipment," the release said. 

They shared a video of the inside of the home, which was loaded with boxes of shoes and other packages.

They arrested 41-year-old Los Angeles man Alejandro Aguilar-Espinoza without incident at the scene. He was booked for receiving stolen property. 

After he was arrested, detectives also responded to multiple of Aguilar-Espinoza's residences upon learning that there was additional stolen cargo. 

This is the second time in two weeks that LAPD officers have arrested someone in connection with stolen train cargo, after CoolKicks owner Adeel Shams was arrested last Thursday.
