In the first heist, a shipment that was worth about $45,000 of beer was picked up for delivery to Arizona but never arrived. In the second incident, about $25,000 worth of beer was taken after a supposed subcontracting company submitted fake documents to arrange the pickup.
Both occurred within an hour of each other.
Montclair police said similarities between the heists have led them to investigate whether they are part of the same operation.
The investigation remains ongoing.
