Police said later in the day officers found two of the vehicles, said to be trucks, severely damaged on railway tracks northeast of the compound, with a man walking away from them.
He was arrested on the 1200 block of Park Street and was found to be involved in the theft of the vehicles. Police believe he was also responsible for damaging a railway switch.
