(5MinNewsBreak.com) – Highlighting the failures of Democrat-run cities, Chicago plunged into complete chaos as an alarming daylight train robbery took place on the West Side.

Watch the video below.

Dozens of criminals, some reportedly armed, looted a freight train with impunity while police stood by helplessly.

This shocking display of anarchy exposes the dire consequences of soft-on-crime policies and the urgent need to restore law and order across the country.

The robbery happened on Union Pacific tracks between Lake and Kinzie Streets, from Cicero to Laramie Avenue.

A mob of about 30 individuals swarmed the halted train, bypassing security measures to access the valuable cargo that included televisions and air fryers.

While alarmed residents reported the crime in progress, the response from law enforcement was lackluster.

Chicago police, Union Pacific officers and Metra police all responded to the scene, but the criminals continued looting right in front of authorities.

It took Union Pacific police an entire hour to clear the tracks, showcasing the complete lack of law and order in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Chicago.

This incident marks the second time in just a few months that cargo trains on this route have been targeted, highlighting the ongoing security crisis plaguing the city.

The fact that looters could openly pillage a train for nearly an hour before police arrived speaks volumes about the state of public safety in Chicago.

The aftermath of this criminal free-for-all left a trail of destruction: discarded TVs and debris stretching for blocks, some even lying across train tracks.

While six suspects were initially taken into custody, only Derrick Weathers and Lemar Hollingsworth have been charged so far.

Weathers faces misdemeanor theft and felony drug possession charges, while Hollingsworth was hit with a mere misdemeanor theft charge.

These light charges for such a crime send a clear message that Chicago’s justice system is more concerned with pampering criminals than protecting law-abiding citizens.

Union Pacific has highlighted the serious safety threat posed by these rail burglaries. In a 2021 earnings call, the company acknowledged an alarming increase in organized train burglaries, a trend that has only worsened under Democrat leadership.

Critics of the current chaos highlight that this daylight heist is just the latest example of how Democrat-run cities like Chicago have become havens for criminals.
