Man Sought in Hijacking of Beer Delivery Truck

Police searched Tuesday for a man who hijacked a Budweiser beer delivery truck and drove through two counties before abandoning it and the unharmed driver in San Bernardino.

The man forced his way into the cab of the truck shortly after 9:15 a.m. while the driver was at a stop sign in Orange, police said. At least two people saw the hijacking and called 911.

Police helicopters and patrol units searched for four hours without success.

The driver contacted his employer shortly after 1 p.m., saying he was in San Bernardino with the truck. He also phoned his mother and told her the hijacker had tied him up in the back of the truck and stolen beer and his cell phone.
