On January 17, 2025, members of the Sinaloa Cartel executed a heist on a BNSF cargo train traveling north of Phoenix, Arizona. The cartel members reportedly severed the train's air brakes, forcing it to stop near Perrin, Arizona. They then offloaded approximately $202,500 worth of Nike merchandise from the train into a waiting box truck. Authorities were alerted after BNSF employees discovered the severed air hose and noticed suspicious activity nearby. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of eleven individuals connected to the theft, nine of whom were in the United States illegally and six identified as natives of Sinaloa.
This incident is part of a broader trend of cargo train robberies attributed to Mexican cartels. Over the past two years, such thefts have been on the rise, with cartels targeting trains carrying valuable goods like electronics, tools, and footwear. Their methods often involve sabotaging train systems, such as cutting air hoses or tampering with signal boxes, to halt the trains and facilitate the theft. The stolen merchandise is typically sold through online platforms or to cooperative retailers. Law enforcement agencies are intensifying efforts to combat this growing threat to supply chain security.
