Police have recovered about $70,000 worth of cheese stolen from a suburban Milwaukee trucking company.
Germantown police say on their Facebook page that the cheese was found in Milwaukee Friday evening. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that no one has been arrested.
A 54-foot long trailer containing the cheese was stolen early Friday from D and G Transportation in Germantown, which is northwest of Milwaukee.
A semitrailer used to steal the trailer was recovered. Police said the empty trailer, which was found around 10 a.m. Friday in the Milwaukee area.
It’s not clear exactly where in Milwaukee the stolen cheese was found.
As Germantown police tracked down the cheese bandits, a nearby city is investigating another cheese mystery, reported CBS affiliate WDJT late last week.
“Approximately $90,000 worth of parmesan cheese was missing from a logistics or storage facility here in Marshfield,” said Lt. Darren Larson, Marshfield Police department.
Thetheft in Marshfield was a week earlier, WDJT reported. There’s no known connection between the two cheese thefts.
“We’re trying to reap some information to the location of this cheese,” said Lt. Darren Larson
