Operation targeting large-scale cheese thieves results in major losses for London-based dairy company

A series of articles have reported on a significant cheese heist that took place in London, in which Neal's Yard Dairy, a cheese distributor and retailer, fell victim to a sophisticated fraud. The stolen cheese, valued at over $389,000, is believed to be some of the world's best cheddar. The thieves are thought to be attempting to smuggle the cheese to the Middle East or Russia in order to avoid detection. The international artisan cheesemaking community is expected to be able to identify the stolen cheese, making it difficult for the thieves to sell it.
