Four adolescents have been arrested by the Elche Local Police for putting things on the train tracks in order to cause a derailment. Thanks to a witness’s complaint and quick police action, the objects were found and taken off the rails, which stopped an accident from happening.
RENFE and ADIF both said that the objects may have caused a derailment or a lot of damage. After trying to escape, the youths involved were caught and brought before a judge on suspicion of putting railway safety at risk.
Authorities want people to know that this kind of behaviour can lead to harsh punishments and endanger many lives.
Police prevent a possible derailment by removing objects that someone had deliberately placed on the tracks.
