Massive Beer Heist: Pabst Blue Ribbon Stolen in Montclair

A significant amount of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, weighing around 40,000 pounds, was stolen in Montclair, marking one of the largest beer heists ever recorded. The theft occurred at the Anheuser-Busch distribution center on Brooks Street, where two separate incidents took place on August 17. The stolen cargo, valued at approximately $70,000, included Pabst Blue Ribbon products bound for Tucson, Arizona. The theft involved a commercial truck loaded with the stolen beer, prompting Pabst to address the situation on social media and offer a reward for information leading to the recovery of the stolen vehicle and cargo.

The Montclair Police Department is actively investigating the thefts and looking into potential connections between the two incidents. While similarities have been identified, the authorities are still determining if the thefts were part of the same fraudulent operation. Details about the suspects involved and the whereabouts of the stolen cargo remain unclear, as investigators work to gather more information to solve the case.

Pabst Blue Ribbon issued an ultimatum to the thief, giving them 18 days and 44 minutes to return the stolen truck without facing any consequences. The company emphasized the seriousness of the situation and urged anyone with information to come forward. As the investigation continues, Pabst encourages the public to reach out on social media if they have any leads on the missing truck or the stolen beer.
