Summary
$500,000 worth of Noble Oak bourbon vanished Friday afternoon after 1,800 cases were loaded from a North Philadelphia warehouse onto a truck instead of being sent to North Jersey.
A-21 Wine and Spirits said the theft appeared to be a coordinated cargo operation, with one failed safeguard involving a driver whose ID photo did not match.
Investigators are trying to identify who carried out the theft and trace where the shipment ended up after leaving the facility on North American Street.
Distributors, retailers and transportation providers have been asked to watch for attempts to resell the stolen bourbon, underscoring concerns that the load could quickly enter legitimate supply channels.
