Officers noticed boxes stacked up, approached the scene, and spotted the suspects unloading items off of CSX train cars.

Police say the thieves went from boxcar to boxcar, 19 in all, until they came upon boxes contained laptops and toys. As they were unloading the stolen merchandise, the police arrived.
