22,000 Kilograms Of Cheese Stolen In Major Scam At London Manufacturer

Thieves conned Neal's Yard Dairy in London out of 22 tonnes of luxury cheddar, posing as wholesale distributors for a prominent French retailer.

In a complex fraud, robbers pretended to be wholesale distributors for a well-known French shop and defrauded London's Neal's Yard Dairy of 22 tonnes of luxury cheddar, according to The Metro.

Before the dairy company discovered the scam, the scammers were able to steal more than 950 wheels of cheddar.

Neal's Yard Dairy agreed to compensate the small-scale producers-Hafod, Westcombe, and Pitchfork-for their goods in spite of the substantial financial damage, taking the brunt of the cheese theft.
