Where’s the Beer?

CARLISLE, PA (WHTM/CNN) – There may have been a lot of partying going on in one Pennsylvania county over the weekend.

Someone took off with thousands of dollars worth of Corona beer.

Police say two tractor trailers, each full with $15,000 worth of Corona were stolen – the same weekend as Cinco de Mayo when the Mexican beer is a hot commodity.

Police say the theft from the Allen Distribution center is being taken seriously.

The first trailer taken is 2009 Great Dane trailer, white in color with a Maine license plate, according to police, and that the trailers could be anywhere.

Each trailer itself is worth about $10,000 and the beer inside of each about $15,000.

“Well, they are both felonies just based on the amount that was stolen. We believe the trailers were probably taken off site very quickly,” said Lt. Mike Dzezinki, of the Carlisle Police Department.

In the past, police say drivers have accidentally taken the wrong load, but in this case, with the thefts happening the same weekend as Cinco de Mayo, this doesn’t appear to be an accident.

In fact, officers think this rig took some planning.

“We think somebody with inside information was probably involved. You also have to have somebody capable of driving these trailers off the lot,” Dzezinki said.
