“Cheese bandits wheeled away an eye-popping amount of cheddar cheese from one of the UK’s most famous cheese stores. Neal’s Yard Dairy announced in a social media post that thieves, ‘posing as a legitimate wholesale distributor for a major French retailer,’ ordered over 950 wheels of the clothbound Hafod, Westcombe and Pitchfork cheddar. The cheese was worth about $390,000, the company revealed. Neal’s Yard Dairy reportedly delivered 22 metric tons (48,488 pounds) of cheddar before realizing the wholesale distributor was a fake. The dairy retailer said that they covered the cost from the theft that impacted the smaller cheesemakers.” (10/27/24)
