In the end it may have just been too much cheddar to make a clean getaway. A 63-year-old man has been arrested after more than 24 tons of artisanal cheese from one of Britain’s most famous dairy companies was stolen, authorities said. The man was detained on suspicion of fraud by false representation and handling stolen goods.
Neal's Yard Dairy said that 'despite the significant financial blow,' they've paid each of their artisan cheesemakers in full for their products. Tom Calver from Westcombe said in a video posted to Instagram that 'it was a hoax — it was theft, it was fraud.' Behind him were rows of empty shelves in the dairy, showcasing how much cheese was taken.
