Five individuals are behind bars after a botched burglary attempt on a boxcar in Navajo County, Arizona. Acting on a tip about questionable behavior near the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, deputies arrived at the scene near the Jack Rabbit Trading Post in Joseph City and observed signs of forced entry to a boxcar, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.

Around 5:30 p.m. on March 1, the suspects' vehicle was stopped, and inside, the Navajo County Sheriff's officers discovered tools that could be used for cutting locks. The five men, identified as Eren Morales-Sepulveda, 28; Osiele Morales-Sepulveda, 19; Oscar Morales-Sepulveda, 18; Jesus Ruiz-Urias, 20; and Adan Morales-Mendivil, 26, were subsequently taken into custody and charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools, as reported by WMICentral.

The investigation prompted the involvement of the Arizona Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security, signaling the serious nature of these allegations. All accused are reported, to be Phoenix residents and now also face immigration holds due to their illegal status in the country.

An update from the Navajo County Sheriff's Office on March 4 indicated, "All subjects are illegal immigrants and are being held on an immigration hold." These additional legal complications suggest that the ramifications for the alleged burglary extend beyond the immediate criminal charges. The suspects were all booked into Navajo County Jail, where they await further proceedings.
