Thief steals truck loaded with 20k pounds of cheese in Milwaukee suburb

OAK CREEK, Wis. (WLS) -- The hunt for a cheese thief is on in Wisconsin after someone stole 20,000 pounds of cheese that was packed inside a truck.

It happened in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek.

The truck was taken from a secure business parking lot. It's not clear if the person stealing the truck knew it was full of all that cheese, which is valued at roughly $46,000.

Police say it's the third case involving stolen cheese this year alone in the Dairy State.
