Runcorn Depot Loses 70,000 Pints Guinness as Thieves Abscond with Two Lorries

Cheshire Police are investigating the theft of approximately 70,000 pints of Guinness from a Runcorn depot. The substantial quantity of stout, distributed across more than 800 barrels, was loaded onto two lorries subsequently stolen from the facility.

Details released by authorities indicate that the theft involved the unauthorised removal of two heavy goods vehicles, both laden with the popular Irish dry stout. The incident represents a significant loss for the distributor, prompting a criminal investigation into the circumstances of the removal.

Authorities have appealed for public assistance, urging anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the two lorries or the stolen Guinness to come forward. The incident highlights ongoing vulnerabilities within supply chains, a persistent concern for businesses transporting high-value goods.
