Police are on the hunt for whoever is responsible for thieving $42,000 worth of Monster Energy drinks off a truck in Corona.

A big-rig and trailer loaded up with the beverages was stolen Monday night in Corona and when cops found the missing cab on Wednesday in Jurupa Valley, its trailer and cargo was nowhere to be seen.

“We’re trying to figure out how they got rid of the trailer,” Corona Police Sgt. Paul Mercado told the Press Enterprise. “It’s safe to assume you’ve got to have something to pull the trailer.”

Police are investigating and have already collected DNA from the truck. Whoever stole the drinks faces at least three felonies.

Update: Looks the the trailer was found in Fontana, though it is not clear if it was still loaded up with Monster Energy Drinks.
