A daring heist has hit London’s Neal’s Yard Dairy, where thieves posing as wholesalers managed to steal 22 tonnes of premium cheddar cheese, valued at approximately £300,000. Disguised as representatives of a French retailer, the robbers duped dairy staff into handing over 950 wheels of artisanal cheddar, but the scam was only uncovered after the cheese vanished. The theft has shaken the cheese industry, as Neal’s Yard vowed to cover losses for their small-scale producers Hafod, Westcombe, and Pitchfork, shielding them from financial hardship. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver voiced his dismay, calling the heist “epic” and raising awareness on social media. Meanwhile, police are on the case, but no arrests have been made. With a significant loss and questions surrounding supply chain security, this audacious crime has left the cheese community on high alert. #CheeseHeist #LondonNews #NealsYardDairy #CheeseCrime #CheddarTheft #ArtisanalCheese #JamieOliver #FoodCrime #CheeseLovers #S
