$.75M in cheese vanishes

The empty container was found abandoned in Carlsen Field shortly after the discovery of the missing container was made.

According to reports, AS Bryden imported the cheese which arrived in the country last week.

However, when officials of the company carried out the necessary transaction to clear the container and after doing so, attempted to retrieve the container, discovered that it was missing.

A report was made to the Port security department and investigation was initiated to ascertain how persons were able to leave the compound of the Port Authority without the necessary documents to give clearance to leave the compound.

Newsday understands that no official report of the missing cheese was made to the police and the matter is now in the hands of the Customs and Excise Department and the Port Authority. Investigators believe that persons used false documents to remove the container containing the cheese from the Port and then moved the items to a place in Central where the Cheese packages were removed and the container dumped at Carlsen Field.

Investigators now believe that the cheese will be sold to unscrupulous business people at bargain prices.

Sources within the Customs and Excuse department said that they intend to search several business places where they believe the cheese packages are being kept. Sources within the Port Authority security department confirmed to Newsday that security officers who were on duty on the day the container of cheese went missing have been interviewed as part of the ongoing investigation.
