Eight men face charges after allegedly stealing hefty values of beer from Northeast rail yards and storage facilities.
Under the name "Beer Theft Enterprise," the group crept into rail yards, cut locks and fences, and loaded a U-Haul with cases of stolen beer to sell in the Bronx. Members were paid "hundreds of dollars" for participating in the heists.
27-year-old Jose Cesari (AKA "Cry"), the alleged ringleader, purportedly reeled in recruits via Instagram, even offering a $100K monthly promise for joining his "beer train method." The group had roles, from drivers to lookouts, using police scanners and social media to stay ahead of the law.
