Brewery Delivery Van Stolen, Possibly Used in Break-ins
A San Antonio brewery company had its only van stolen, but the thieves weren’t after beer.
A San Antonio-based brewery had its only delivery van stolen early this week after being in business but 15 months, according to broadcast station KENS-5 of San Antonio. The 2001 white Chevy van, as identified by the station, was recovered Feb. 21.
The Ranger Creek Brewery’s owner said that an adjacent business was also broken into, and that he suspects the van was used in the crime. Nothing was missing from the brewery’s van except for a hand truck cart — and the ignition was busted.
