A PERTH man has been charged with stealing a sea container full of premium Belgian beer worth $35,000, West Australian police say.

Police allege two men stole a shipping container holding 1,349 cartons of Hoegaarden beer from a storage yard in Welshpool, in Perth's east on August 20.

"It will be alleged that at 6.05pm two men using a side-loading container trailer, stole a sea container containing 1,349 cartons of Hoegaarden beer," police spokeswoman Susan Usher said.

The incident was captured on security footage and police identified two people of interest, police spokesman Samuel Dinnison said.

Detectives and Customs officers executed a search warrant at a house in Palmyra, in Perth's south on Wednesday.

A 34-year-old man was charged with stealing the beer and cannabis possession.

Mr Dinnison said the beer had not been recovered but the investigation was continuing.

Police were working to identify the second man on the security footage.

The man will appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday September 8.
