TAMPA (AP) – Authorities say thieves have stolen $70,000 worth of beer that were in two tractor-trailers in west Florida.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office says the two tractor-trailers contained Corona and Modelo Especial beer.

Authorities say employees of the trucking company learned that two Freightliners carrying 1,260 six-packs of Corona and 990 cases of Modelo were missing on Tuesday morning.

Law enforcement found the trucks’ cabs later that afternoon in a vacant lot.
