Large groups of people were seen carrying boxes of merchandise off freight trains in Chicago and fleeing in cars and vans, leading to massive Metra delays during the afternoon rush hour Friday.

Two people were seen carrying a box that appeared to contain a TV and placing it in a waiting sport-utility vehicle parked nearby.

The number of people seen stealing TVs and other electronics, and air fryers, was enough to make one question how so many people were able to pull it off and escape. Jermont Terry reports.

Chicago Police are responding to a stalled freight train being targeted by thieves. Video from over the scene shows dozens of people pulling packages off the train, including a lot of what looks like flat screen TV boxes.

At least four people were arrested after a chaotic scene erupted on Metra's Union Pacific-West line, with video showing people reportedly stealing boxes from freight trains, authorities said.
