MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. — Authorities are searching for three men who stole about $24,000 worth of beer from a trucking company in Racine County.
The suspects pulled up about 2 a.m. Monday in semi tractors stolen from a business southwest of Chicago in Will County, Ill., Mount Pleasant police said.
They were hooking up to a trailer full of Miller Brewing Co. products when they were interrupted. The men fled in one of the semi tractors taken from Illinois and a semitrailer belonging to Schneider National, which rents the property from Hribar Trucking.
The semitrailer was decorated with Miller advertising and contained the beer, Sgt. Brian Smith said.
Officials from Schneider National declined to comment on the theft and ongoing investigation.
Police are looking for a white semitrailer with blue lettering reading “Great Taste of a True Pilsner Beer” and a white Freightliner semi tractor.
The village of Mount Pleasant is about 5 miles southwest of Racine and 30 miles south of Milwaukee.
