Thieves steal £28,000 worth of cheese

Thieves have stolen £28,550 worth of cheese in France.

The criminals got away with four tonnes of comté worth €40,000 from a prestigious dairy in eastern France, with cheese-makers being told to beef up security to combat the growing black market, according to The Times newspaper.

A representative from the local farmers’ union federation, Phillipe Monnet, suggested dairy farmers install security cameras and motion sensors to prevent further blunders.
