Eight men charged by feds with robbing train cars carrying Corona and Modelo cases
One of the ringleaders advertised for recruits on Instagram by promising the chance to earn money via "the beer train method."

Eight men have been charged by federal authorities with stealing numerous cases of beer from train cars and other facilities across the Northeast over the course of nearly two years.

Prosecutors with the Southern District of New York said Wednesday that the men carried out dozens of beer heists in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts between about July 2022 and March 2024, costing beverage distributors at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Under cover of darkness, the men would usually gather in the Bronx, then set out for a given night's target, according to the SDNY complaint. Once they arrived, they'd usually cut a hole in a fence surrounding the location, and/or cut the lock to railroad cars, to access sealed pallets of cases of beer, usually Coronoa or Modelo shipped in from Mexico.

Once brought back to a gathering point in the Bronx, the men would inspect the cases and subsequently sell them.

Prosecutors said the heist teams were paid hundreds of dollars for a given night's work.

One of the charged men accused of being a leader, Jose Cesari, known as "Cry," would post on Instagram seeking recruits for the ring, advertising the ability to make "$100K+ in a month” by following what he described as “the beer train method.”

Cesari is also accused of using a police scanner to monitor potential police activity, and was found to be in possession of a firearm that he brandished, according to the complaint.
