The contents of one of two trucks of Sammy Hagar and Guy Fieri’s tequila has been found a month after a $1 million heist, according to a Santo Tequila spokesperson, reports Charles Swanson of The Press Democrat.

On Monday, December 16, Hagar told Fox News that one of the two stolen trucks, which were carrying more than 4,000 cases of the company’s tequila when they went missing, had been found.

“We found one truck, so we’re getting somewhere, but we’ll never find the second one because it supposedly has been dispersed into the system,” Hagar told the outlet during an interview at a benefit hosted by Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation in Los Angeles, California.

On Wednesday, December 18, Santo Tequila (formed by Hagar and Fieri in 2019) confirmed in an email to The Press Democrat that the contents of one truck have been recovered in the Los Angeles area.

The company’s yet-to-be-introduced Extra Anejo (Spanish for “aged”) tequila, which sat for 39 months in a single barrel to achieve a bold agave flavor, was among the recovered stock, company spokesperson Dave Karraker said in the email.

The two trucks were bound for Santo Tequila’s Pennsylvania distribution center but went missing sometime after they crossed the border from Mexico into Laredo, Texas, on November 9, the company’s President and CEO Dan Butkus said in an interview with The Press Democrat last month.

At the time, Butkus said the trucks were illegally double brokered, meaning a trucking company bid on the delivery job but resold the bid to another company instead of delivering the load themselves. That second company seems to be the criminal organization who took the goods, Butkus said.

One truck was found shortly after the theft in what Butkus last month called “a known criminal cargo area” of Los Angeles, where it was off loaded.

In addition to the 40 cases of the Extra Anejo tequila, 2,000 cases each of the company’s Blanco and Reposado tequila were stolen, totaling more than $1 million.

The company is now deciding what can be done with the recovered tequila. “We are investigating if we can now sell it based on this information,” Karraker said.

According to Karraker, there have been no arrests because the warehouse where investigators found the product and the drivers of the box truck who took over the shipment were unaware the product was stolen. In both instances, they were responding to solicitations to ship and store the product.

The investigation is ongoing.
