Breaking the peaceful silence at the CSX railyard in West Springfield, Massachusetts on October 13, a disturbance reported led to the discovery of a raided boxcar. As reported in a West Springfield Police Department Facebook post by the West Springfield Police Department, cases of "Corona Extra" beer had been stolen from the car.
Officers, supported by the CSX Yardmaster, examined carefully the railyard surveillance footage. It provided essential evidence of the suspects fleeing eastward towards Day and Union streets, beer cases in hand.
The diligent officers apprehended three suspects, while a fourth managed to avoid capture, demonstrating that even within the grasp of justice, instances of evasion still exist.

All are charged with breaking and entering a railroad car for a felony, malicious destruction of property, larceny under $1,200, and walking or riding on railroad tracks, according to the West Springfield Police Department Facebook post Facebook post.
Further, to be investigated revealed a connection between the suspects and a white F650 box truck parked on Cold Spring Avenue, west of the railyard. The truck contained items linking the three suspects to it, adding further evidence in the case. Hernandez and the Diaz brothers were subsequently taken into custody on the previously detailed charges.
