Thieves caught stealing nearly 30 cases of beer from train in Riverside County

Two thieves were arrested after they were caught trying to steal nearly 30 cases of beer from a train in Riverside County, according to deputies. 

They didn't say exactly when the arrests were made, but Jurupa Valley Sheriff's Station deputies stopped the thieves in the act of what deputies called a "Grand Theft Cerveza," according to a Facebook post shared by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. 

"Some thirsty thieves thought they could pull off the ultimate beer run—by stealing Model straight from a railroad shipment," the post said. "But their 'especial' plan fizzled out fast when our deputies caught them in the act. Now, instead of enjoying a cold one, they're looking at some hard time instead!"

Instead, personnel from the Eastvale SET team, K9 team and the Cal Fire arson investigation team were able to chase down the suspects as they tried to run from the railroad tracks. 

Deputies did not provide information on the suspect's identities or possible charges they may face.
