How was the event
“A group of young people disconnected the air hose and that activated the emergency brakes, which caused the formations to stop,” said inspector commissioner Julio Moyano.
“Then they removed the seals from the wagons, opened the hoppers and made the soybeans they contained fall out.”, he added in statements to Chain 3.
“The train has 28 cars and it is estimated that the hoppers were opened in 14 of them.”Moyano said.
“The authorities there assured that, once the cereal hits the ground, it is no longer useful and, therefore, they allow people to take it out, because it no longer has value,” the police authority concluded.
