Neal 's Yard Dairy delivered 22 tonnes of cheddar after being approached by a person posing as a wholesale distributor for a big French retailer.

The 950 stolen cheeses were Hafod Welsh organic cheddar, Westcombe cheddar and Pitchfork cheddar.

The three cheeses sell for between 7.15 and 12.90 for a small piece weighing 250-300 g.

The high monetary value is thought to have made them “a particular target”.
