In a peculiar turn-of-events Nealʼs Yard Dairy a well-known London cheese shop got hit by an odd crime last week: thieves made-off with premium cheese worth big money. The cheese-monger lost about 950 wheels of top-shelf cheddar (thats roughly 24 tons of dairy goodness)
The high-end shop‚ known for its hand-picked artisan products found itself at the center of what locals started calling the “grate cheese robbery“ - a clever play on words that quickly caught-on. The stolen goods included three different award-winning cheddars; their total value reaching close to $389‚000
The crime wasnt a simple smash-and-grab but rather what the company described as a well-planned scheme. Police are now looking into this dairy-related crime that happened on Oct 22nd - marking one of the biggest cheese heists in recent British history
