Police in West Chester are searching for five teenagers who trespassed and vandalized railroad property – NBC10 Philadelphia

West Chester County Police are searching for five suspected male teenagers who vandalized and trespassed on railroad property.

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

According to officials, the intruders climbed on all the locomotives for about 20 minutes, trying to determine if any of the doors were unlocked, firing two of four fire extinguishers.

Surveillance cameras caught them red-handed and the West Chester Railroad released pictures and videos.

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

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

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

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