Low-slung car alerted police to alleged beer heist

Police who pulled over a heavily weighed-down car in Christchurch at the weekend discovered it was carrying 91 dozen beers allegedly stolen from a nearby warehouse.

The Mazda 323 was stopped late Friday night on Opawa Rd as it appeared to be driving on its springs.

The amount of Millers beer found inside meant there was little room left for anything else.

Two men in their 20s were arrested over the incident.
