Cheese bandits wheeled away an eye-popping amount of cheddar cheese from one of the UK’s most famous cheese stores.

Neal’s Yard Dairy announced in a social media post that thieves, “posing as a legitimate wholesale distributor for a major French retailer,” ordered over 950 wheels of the clothbound Hafod, Westcombe and Pitchfork cheddar.

The cheese was worth about $390,000, the company revealed.

Neal’s Yard Dairy reportedly delivered 22 metric tons (48,488 pounds) of cheddar before realizing the wholesale distributor was a fake. 

The dairy retailer said that they covered the cost from the theft that impacted the smaller cheesemakers.

“Despite the significant financial blow, we have honoured our commitment to our small-scale suppliers and paid all three artisan cheesemakers in full,” they said.
