Montclair, California police are investigating two separate thefts of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer valued at $70,000 that occurred on the same day from a warehouse. The first heist saw about $45,000 worth of beer headed to Tucson, Arizona, but the package never made it to its destination. The second theft involved $25,000 worth of beer stolen from Anheuser-Busch's distribution center, roughly 40 miles east of Los Angeles.
The thieves managed to pilfer roughly 34,000 cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and non-alcoholic Old Milwaukee beer, totaling more than 1,500 cases. Pabst Blue Ribbon turned the thefts into a social media promotion, calculating the weight of the stolen cargo at 40,000 pounds and starting a countdown for its return.
