BC police investigating alleged $12.8K cheese heist

Police in the Lower Mainland are trying to track down a man alleged of stealing several thousand dollars worth of cheese.

The reported cheese heist happened in the early hours of Sept. 29 in North Vancouver.

Officers were patrolling an area near East 13th Street when they came across a cart full of cheese, a news release notes.

When officers went to investigate, a man reportedly appeared from a stairwell connected to the community’s Whole Foods store but departed quickly after spotting the RCMP officers.

Officers tried to stop the man as they suspected the cheese was stolen but the suspect fled and has not been identified.

Officers were able to confirm that the Whole Foods had been broken into.

After speaking with staff, the assessed total cost of the cheese was $12,800.

Unfortunately, the cheese could no longer be sold after it left the store’s fridges.

“While this was great work by our officers, the investigation is not complete,” says Cst. Mansoor Sahak.

“We are releasing CCTV video of the suspect in hopes that someone may recognize the suspect and call police.”
