Thieves try to steal new Chevrolet and GMC trucks out of a freight train



It's a daring and improbable scenario that sounds like a mission from Grand Theft Auto: Law enforcement officials in Mexico say thieves tried to steal at least two new Chevrolet and GMC trucks out of a freight train. Both pickups were damaged, including a Canyon that looks totaled.

Spotted by our colleagues at The Drive, the incident happened in December 2023 near San Felipe, a small town located about 220 miles west of Monterrey in the northern part of Mexico. News outlet Emergencias Region Centro Sur explained armed thieves broke into a parked train car carrying new Chevrolet and GMC trucks that were presumably on their way to a dealership; both trucks are made in Wentzville, Missouri. They got a Canyon Denali down and were in the process of taking out a Colorado when law enforcement officials showed up.
