COPS investigating the brazen theft of more than 70,000 pints worth of Guinness have released footage of two men they want to speak with.

The shocking recordings show the men sneaking 880 barrels of beer out of the depot in Runcorn, Cheshire, on Monday using stolen HGVs.

Police released footage today, in the hope of tracking down the people who stole an estimated £155,000 of Guinness.

The first video shows one lorry arriving at around 7.45pm on Monday and connecting to a GXO trailer filled with barrels.

It is then seen leaving the industrial estate at 7.55pm and travelling in the direction of Mersey Gateway.

A second lorry then arrives at 9.12pm, where it connects to another trailer before leaving at 9.30pm and heading towards Rainhill and Watkinson Way.

They are estimated to have a combined worth of around £90,000.

The first driver was described as a white man with a short dark beard who was wearing a beanie hat.

The second man was believed to have been wearing a cap.

Detective Sergeant Gary McClatchey said: “[W]e will not settle for anything less than the full recovery of the near 900 stolen Guinness kegs and the locating of the offenders behind this brazen heist.

“As our investigation continues, we are now looking to identify the two men captured in the CCTV footage as we believe they hold vital information.

“I’d urge anyone who recognises these men contact us so that we can progress with our investigation and I would also strongly encourage the men in the footage to please come forward.

“As we have previously stated, these kegs are stolen goods that are looking to be sold on by criminals.

“So, we are continuing to urge anyone who is approached by any prospective Guinness sellers to remain cautious and, as always, report any suspicions to police.”
