Great work PPD & the Heart Team

Ren's note:
This wouldn't happen if they would park their trains somewhere else. You see when they park their trains in my neighborhood, and in front of my house. That's when the homeless or who ever break into the box cars. But their more concern about bulling me and harassment because I complain about the noise and fumes.


On August 21st members of the City of Pomona Homeless Encampment Action Response Team (HEART) were working along the Union Pacific Railroad tracks between Humane Way and Temple Av. While cleaning encampments the HEART crew located several items that appeared to be new with packaging intact. Union Pacific trains have been a recent target for thefts over the past several months. During the investigation HEART crew members located over $100,000 of various products.
The Union Pacific Railroad police were contacted and they confirmed the items had been stolen from a Union Pacific Train. The recovered items included vehicle tires, small kitchen appliances and fixtures, major appliances, auto related parts, clothing, shoes, cleaning supplies, baby related items and various household items.

The Pomona Homeless Encampment Action Response Team consists of employees from Pomona Public Works, and officers from the Pomona Police Department. The HEART crew responds to reports of homeless encampments on City property, or encampments in high fire areas. Homeless property is stored free of charge for 90 days, and services are offered to homeless individuals contacted. If you have any information related to the thefts from Union Pacific Trains, you can contact the Union Pacific Railroad Police Department at 1-888-UPRCOP (877-7267). If you would like to report a homeless encampment in Pomona, please contact the Quality of Life Unit at 909-620-3612 or via email at qualitylife@ci.pomona.ca.us.
