BevBlog: Pa. man one-ups Red Bull Bandits

Drops, drips, and leaks from the beverage industry.

A Pennsylvania man has one-upped the Red Bull Bandits of Illinois. William Redfern, 37, of Allentown, Pa. admitted to stealing cases of vitamin water and Monster energy drink that Davis Beverage officials estimated to be worth a total of about $100,000.

His score dwarfs the paltry $50,000 of Red Bull the Illinois pair stole at gunpoint in March of 2006 when they hijacked a pair of Red Bull trucks.

But Redfern had an advantage. He worked at the beverage warehouse and culled his haul over the course of several months, selling the cases from his trunk for $10 each. A judged arraigned Redfern Wednesday and released him on $10,000 unsecured bail, but maybe soon he’ll share a cell with the Red Bull Bandits.
