West Chester Police Searching for Five Teens Who Trespassed on Railroad Yard, Vandalized – NBC10 Philadelphia

West Chester Borough police are searching for five suspected teenage boys who vandalized and trespassed on a railroad yard.

On Saturday, July 20, at approximately 2:30 p.m., the West Chester Railroad reported that five men entered their Adams Street Yard in West Chester.

Officials said the trespassers spent about 20 minutes climbing up each locomotive and trying to see if any doors were unlocked. They pumped out two of the four fire extinguishers while they were there.

Security cameras caught them in the act and the West Chester Railroad released images and videos.

In the videos shared by the railway company, all five people can be seen wearing the same uniform: a white T-shirt with a logo on the front and light blue shorts.

One of the videos also shows one of the boys emptying a fire extinguisher.

The railroad contacted West Chester Borough Police, who are currently working to identify the individuals.

“Treading on railway property is not only illegal, it can be extremely dangerous and can result in injury or death,” the railway site said in a social media post.
