Someone Snatched 20,000 Lbs. Of Cheese In Wisconsin
OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities are investigating after a semitrailer containing 20,000 pounds of cheese was stolen from a parking lot in southeastern Wisconsin.
Capt. Mike Bolender of the Oak Creek Police Department says the cheese was reported missing around 2 a.m. Thursday after the driver parked his semitrailer, left for several hours and returned to find it was gone.
Bolender says the cheese was produced by manufacturer U.S. Foods and was on its way to the New York City area from Green Bay. He says U.S. Foods values the cheese at more than $46,000.
A semitrailer carrying $70,000 worth of cheese was stolen from a Germantown trucking company in January.
