Neal’s Yard’s Stolen Cheese Could Be Sold Abroad, Supplier Says

A supplier has told the BBC that Cheddar stolen from London cheese specialist Neal's Yard Dairy may have been shipped abroad to be sold.

Truckles of Patrick Holden's Hafod Welsh Cheddar were among the £300,000 worth of produce stolen in a recent scam.

Mr Holden said he believed the con was "sophisticated" and that the cheese could have been taken to Russia or the Middle East.

"They have already claimed £300,000, these criminals, and if they sell the cheese they'll get more again", Mr Holden said.
