BCRS operator says fraudulent claims taken seriously after video shows alleged misuse of machine

In response to viral videos of a man allegedly misusing a Beverage Container Return Scheme machine, the operator BCRS Ltd said "deliberate manipulation of the machines or fraudulent claims is taken seriously".

A TikTok user had posted the video showing the man using a single can to get the BCRS machine to accept other bottles and cans, along with the question" "Is this legal?"
