Two teens were arrested and over $400,000 worth of stolen Nike products were recovered from a train burglary in the Amboy area Wednesday, January 15, officials said.

Around 6:40 p.m. deputies responded to the area of Amboy and National Trails Highway after BNSF police reported multiple suspects burglarizing a train, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. Deputies later attempted to stop an unmarked white van headed west on Amboy Road near Zelda Lane in Wonder Valley that led to a brief pursuit. The van became disabled on a dirt berm and two occupants fled on foot, according to the statement.

Two teens, ages 16 and 17, were later apprehended.

The California Highway Patrol assisted and stopped an additional vehicle believed to be related as it traveled northbound on South Old Woman Springs Road near Butte Street in Landers. The driver, whose details were not released, fled on foot and has not been arrested, officials said.

Investigators recovered all 218 cases of stolen Nike products worth approximately $408,000. Details on where exactly the products were found or what charges the teens faced were not released.

In Nov. 2023, the California Highway Patrol seized roughly $200,000 worth of Nike products stolen from a train in the Amboy area.
