Trailer With $70000 Worth of Cheese Stolen in Wisconsin

Two cheese heists in two weeks.

A semi-tractor was used to steal a trailer containing the cheese products in Germantown, Wisconsin, about 1:30 a.m. on Friday, according to a Facebook post by the local police force.

The Germantown Police Department said on its Facebook page that the trailer was found about 10 hours after it disappeared – but the cheese was gone.

It started at D & G Transportation in Germantown. They they abandoned the empty trailer in a nearby industrial park, where it was soon discovered.

A trailer full of locally made cheese, was set to be delivered at stops around the nation.

The president of D&G Transport said surveillance video showed the trailer being hooked up and driven away.

In 2013 about 42,000 pounds of Wisconsin Muenster cheese manufactured by K & K / Old Country Cheese Factory and worth about $200,000 was stolen from Pasture Pride Cheese in Cashton.

In the previous incident, a week before, thieves targeted what police describe as a “logistics or storage facility”, nabbing $90,000 in Parmesan cheese.

Even if the cheese is found, it can not be sold and eaten.
