Hunt On For 100,000 Stolen Beers
It's a crime that only a Canadian could appreciate - and maybe commit. Peel Police are on the hunt for the culprits who stole two trailers from a Mississauga trucking yard on Wednesday. Inside the massive containers - more than 100,000 bottles and cans of beer.
Cops say the suds stealers crept into the storage spot at 5455 Dixie Road, near Highway 401, just before 4am and they came prepared. They stole two transport trucks to allow them enough space to get the trailers secreted and then made off with their loot undetected. Police say security personnel simply let them leave the complex without a challenge.
One of the containers held more than 69,000 bottles of Moosehead beer, while the other was filled with over 44,000 Moosehead, James Ready Honey Lager and Carlsberg brands. Authorities know their best clue will be the missing big rigs and the contents that were housed in them. None of them should be hard to spot.
One is described as a white 2005 Trailmobile Tri-Axle refrigerated trailer, with New Brunswick license plate THY 189. The other is a shipping container attached to a trailer chassis, bearing the unit #301037.
The trucks used to steal both of them were a blue 2002 Freightliner, with Ontario license plate 811 5TH and a similarly coloured 2003 Freightliner with Ontario plates 967 2VC.
If you've seen any of the evidence that police can use as a sobering clue, call (905) 453-2121, ext. 3313.

100,000 bottles of beer? I have a hangover just thinking about it.
Well, now that the Canadian loonie has reached parity with the American greenback, those beers are more valuable than ever...
More evidence of how totally phokked we are.
