Law on Sheebens?

    I was wondering if there was any law about being "found-on" the premises off a sheeben should the guards raid it to shut it down i.e if you are there when the guards arrive, what would you be charged with if you were charged? I would assume that the offence of being "found-on" can only relate to being in a licensed premise.

    I would presume that the owner/operator would be hit with something along the lines of selling alcohol without a license, in addition to possibily tax evasion etc.

    I'm kinda assuming that the guards would be interested in prosecuting everyone as opposed to merely going after the operator. [Is this a solid assumption or are the guards simply likely to warn those "found-on" the premises and target the operator to shut it down permanently?]

    what would they prosecute them for if found on only applies to licenced premises?

    is it an offence to drink the alcohol sold in this way.Or to be in the place where it was being sold like it is an offence to travel in a car/receive goods you know to be stolen?Or in this case funding possible tax evasion Interesting question
