Police in Oxford County say they’re looking for information from the public to help them solve a large-scale cheese theft.

The theft occurred either Monday or Tuesday at a walk-in cooler inside the Village Cheese Mill, a store and museum located on Plank Line south of Ingersoll.

According to OPP, the tally of stolen items includes 30 blocks of cheese, five wheels of gouda, and about 18 kilograms of cheese curds. A full list is below.

Also stolen were various non-cheese items kept in the store, including cash, DVDs, fudge, meat sticks, maple syrup, shortbread, garbage tags, chocolate bars, stamps (including some with pictures of Marilyn Monroe), books and pre-stamped envelopes.

The total value of all the items stolen is estimated at $6,200.
