Container theft often takes place from licensed premises, pub company depots, or wholesalers.

We know that thieves target “soft” premises where kegs/casks (containers) are not kept under secure conditions.

To help us combat the problem, you should:

  • Keep containers secure where possible
  • Keep control of the keys, where containers are kept locked away
  • Try not to put containers out for collection until the draymen have arrived
  • Always check the credentials of people coming to collect empty containers
  • Check the number of containers that draymen take away with them
  • Ensure staff are aware of the risks to containers and act accordingly 
  • Are you having problems getting your containers uplifted?
