Wisconsin thieves steal semi-trailer holding $70,000 of cheese

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Wisconsin police reported the theft of a semi-trailer loaded with thousands of dollars worth of cheese products.

The theft occurred early Friday morning near Germantown when police received reports of a 2012 Great Dane semi-trailer stolen from local warehouse D&G Transportation. The trailer reportedly held approximately $70,000 worth of cheese products.

Germantown police were able to locate the semi-tractor used to steal the trailer and shared a photo of the logo that was displayed on the 54-foot-long trailer.

Around 10 a.m. a citizen told police that the trailer had been found in Milwaukee after recognizing the logo from the Facebook post.

Police reported the trailer was completely empty.
