Thieves Steal $70,000 in Pabst Beer From California Warehouse
Police said thieves stole about 34,000 cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Old Milwaukee beer in two heists worth $70,000.
- On Aug. 17, thieves struck an Anheuser-Busch distribution center in Montclair, Southern California, twice in one day, stealing roughly 34,000 cans of beer across two separate operations.
- In the first heist, $45,000 worth of beer destined for Tucson, Arizona, was picked up but never delivered; an hour later, a 'purported subcontracting company' submitted fake documents to steal another $25,000 worth.
- The stolen cargo weighed 40,000 pounds, consisting of more than 1,500 cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Old Milwaukee beer, with police valuing the combined losses at $70,000, according to the Los Angeles Times.
- Pabst turned the thefts into a light-hearted Instagram promotion, writing, "To the thief: we don't fault you for wanting to brag," while jokingly seeking the cargo's return with an 18-day countdown.
- Montclair police said Friday investigators are determining whether the two thefts were part of a single coordinated operation at the distribution center located about 40 miles east of Los Angeles.
