The Delta Police are asking for witnesses to come forward after more than 2,500 cases of Coors Light beer were stolen from a property in the 600-block of Aldford Avenue on Annacis Island on Jan. 20.

Surveillance footage showed a red semi-truck entering the property and hooking on to a container holding the cases of beer at about 11:45 a.m., Delta Police public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf said in a news release.
