Beer runs decrease 17%, El Paso police say

Beer runs, one of the most prevalent crimes in El Paso, dropped by about 17 percent last year, according to El Paso Police Department figures. Beer runs — in which a thief grabs beer and flees without paying — dropped in all of the city’s police regions last year except for the Northeast, which had a 4 percent increase.

This crime is so common that photos of unidentified beer-run suspects are regularly posted on the Police Department’s website.
