The Montclair Police Department is investigating two separate cargo thefts that occurred on August 17, 2026, at the Anheuser-Busch distribution center located at 4545 Brooks Street.

The first incident (CR 26-3601) occurred at approximately 10:00 a.m. A shipment valued at approximately $45,000, destined for Tucson, Arizona, was picked up for delivery but never arrived at its intended destination.

The second incident (CR 26-3562) occurred approximately one hour later, at 11:00 a.m. Approximately $25,000. worth of Anheuser-Busch/Pabst Blue Ribbon product was obtained after a purported subcontracting company submitted fraudulent documentation to arrange the pickup.

Investigators identified similarities between the two incidents and are investigating whether they were committed as part of the same fraudulent cargo-theft operation. Information provided regarding the trucking company, driver, and vehicles involved contained discrepancies and is currently being investigated.

The combined reported value of the missing cargo is approximately $70,000.

The investigation remains active and ongoing. Anyone with information regarding the incidents, vehicles, driver, delivery company, or missing cargo is encouraged to contact the Montclair Police Department at 909-621-4771 (tel:909-621-4771).

⚠️ COMMUNITY SAFETY REMINDER: BE CAREFUL WHO YOU DONATE TO ⚠️

We want to remind everyone to use caution when approached for donations on the roadside or in public places. Unfortunately, donation scams and misleading solicitations do happen, and a heartfelt sign or emotional story does not necessarily mean the request is legitimate.

Before giving money:
• Verify the person, organization, or cause independently.
• Ask where the donations are going and how they will be used.
• Be cautious of pressure to donate immediately or only in cash.
• Consider donating directly through an established organization’s official website.
• If something feels suspicious, trust your instincts and don’t feel obligated to give.
The photos shown are a reminder to pause, verify, and think before you donate. Wanting to help is admirable—but make sure your generosity actually reaches the people or cause you intend to support.

Please share this reminder with friends, family, and neighbors. Stay safe and look out for one another. 👮‍♀️💙

On 7-16-26, Detectives with the Montclair Police Department arrested Kenneth Panes 52 years old, in connection with the attempted robbery that occurred at Fast-Fix Jewelry in Montclair on 2-12-26. Panes was identified from evidence recovered during the ex*****on of a search warrant. Investigators believe Panes may be associated with several additional commercial robbery investigations throughout Southern California. In those cases, the suspect typically targeted commercial businesses during operating hours, entered alone, concealed his identity with a face mask, hat, or beanie, brandished a handgun or handgun-like weapon, and confronted lone employees while demanding money. Panes previously served time in state prison for a series of commercial robberies committed in 2002-2003. He was released from prison in 2019 and is believed to be responsible for additional robberies beginning in 2023.

On 7-15-26, at approximately 1028 hours, Officers from the Montclair Police Department along with the Montclair Fire Department responded to the intersection of Monte Vista Avenue and Moreno Street regarding a traffic collision involving five vehicles. Officers immediately rendered medical aid to the involved parties. Two drivers were severely incapacitated and one of them was trapped; one was unconscious but breathing and the other was unresponsive and not breathing. During the preliminary investigation, it was determined that a pickup truck driving southbound on Monte Vista, failed to stop for a red signal at Moreno Street and struck a white sedan traveling eastbound on Moreno Street. The impact caused the white sedan to spin and collide with three additional vehicles stopped in the northbound lanes of Monte Vista Avenue. The suspect exhibited signs of being under the influence and was investigated for DUI. He was determined to have a BAC above the legal limit and was subsequently arrested for PC 191.5(a) - gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and VC 23153 - DUI causing great bodily injury or death. He was medically cleared and transported to West Valley Detention Center. Montclair Police Department Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) was on scene investigating the collision. Anyone who witnessed or has information regarding the collision is encouraged to contact the Montclair Police Department.
