A man has been charged following an alleged burglary and theft of five kegs of beer from a restaurant in Doncaster.
It is alleged a restaurant on Doncaster Road was broken into and the beer stolen on 4 July about 3.20am.
With an unquenchable thirst to solve crime, Manningham Crime Investigation Unit detectives executed a warrant at an Epping address and seized five unopened kegs of assorted boutique brews yesterday.
Detectives also seized a white Holden Omega station wagon baring alleged fraudulent number plates.
It’s alleged this vehicle was used in a petrol drive-off from a service-station on Willsmere Road on 3 July about 9.23pm.
A 45-year-old man was arrested at the scene of the warrant.
The Epping man was interviewed and charged with burglary, five counts of theft and drive while suspended.
He was bailed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on 15 December.
Police are yet to identify a second person who is believed to have been involved in the burglary.
