Contaminated beer stolen from pub

A health warning has been issued after thieves stole 40 barrels of beer from the garden of a pub.

The beer was due to be thrown away after it was caught in a flood at the Royal Oak, in the Earlsdon area of Coventry, last month.

Landlord Ray Evitts said that the beer was contaminated with foul water and was not fit for human consumption. He said it could make people ill if drunk.

The barrels were moved into the back garden of the premises after the flood.
