According to The Examiner, ten cans of that beer costs 8 pounds sterling, or about R141.

The penguin-man purloined the booze on Monday of last week, and police released a CCTV video of the crook in the hopes that somebody would recognise him.

Durham Police had previously hoped that somebody would have noticed a man in a penguin suit carrying a ten pack of beer in his flippers, but obviously not as nobody has reported it.

They have asked the local fishermen to keep an eye out, possibly in the hopes that after robbing a liquor store the penguin man might get hungry.
