An investigation is underway in Florida after burglars used tractor trailers to steal more than $1.6 million worth of alcohol from a distribution company that carries brands including Jose Cuervo and Malibu.
The theft began during the early morning hours on July 8 at Republic National Distributing Company, located in Hillsborough County south of Tampa, according to a newly unsealed search warrant obtained by CNN on October 5.
Between between 4:10 a.m. and 9:45 a.m., the thieves removed 4,277 cases of liquor from the company that also distributes alcohol from Franzia Wines and Sutter Home Winery, according to the search warrant, which was issued for an Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Authorities believe there is probable cause that the phone “contains specific information, technical data and evidence” showing that a burglary and grand theft took place, according to the warrant.
The thieves, referred to in the document as “unknown suspects,” also removed digital video recorders used by the alcohol distributor for video surveillance purposes, the warrant stated.
Located in Gibsonton, Florida, RNDC is one of the nation’s largest wine and spirits distributors with 14,000 employees in 38 states and Washington, D.C., according to the company’s website.

Sounds like the big rush of miggie illegals are preparing for a big We Won! We Beat The Gringos Celebration and Fiesta.
Nobody caught them during this FIVE HOUR operation???????
4,200 cases.
Either have to have a fork lift for pallets or a _large_ team of people to move that much.
You mean they didn’t carry it all away on their backs?
And they left 10,000 cases of Bud Light behind.
It’s the cheap stuff…
LOL! That’s what I was wondering.
Post of the Day!
Gotta give them credit- they really busted their butts moving that stuff.
Smokey and the Bandit
With wine instead of Coors
I’ll second that.
I was jealous until I read what they stole.
Now I feel sorry for them
I wouldn’t touch any if it even if I was drunk
Maybe they found a bunch of Puerto Rican girls that were just dying to meet them

Yep, at least they have a work ethic, which you don’t see much of anymore.
Nobody caught them during this FIVE HOUR operation???????
No kidding!!
And, with tractor trailers, to boot!
It was in the early morning hours of a Saturday Morning. Maybe they didn't have a night watchman.
Place had 14,000 employees.......musta been an inside job.
Somebody was asleep at the switch.
