 Miami,
FL: Miami-Dade police dismantle crate-stealing crime ring, 20 people arrested;
$1.5 Million
An eight-month investigation into missing plastic crates from retail stores
across Miami-Dade County ended Thursday with the arrest of 20 people, police
said. Daniel Ferrin, a spokesman for Miami-Dade police, said the theft ring
managed to steal more than $1.5 million worth of plastic crates used to carry
milk and bread from stores, including Publix. "They have a route and go all over
the county," he said. The 20 people face charges of criminal racketeering and
other civil violations. Ferrin said the investigation began after the retailers
banded together and hired a private investigator. With information from the
private investigator, Miami-Dade's Economics Bureau, with the help of the
Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, found that thousands of crates were being
stolen daily. The crates were then taken to grinders and plastic was delivered
to recycling centers in exchange for cash, police said.

Italy's Parmesan thieves nab $6.8 million of cheese in 2 years
A spike in cheese theft has seen robbers make off with an estimated 6 million
worth of Italy's prized Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the last two years. "All
in all 15,000 wheels have been stolen," Riccardo Deserti, director of Italy's
Parmesan Cheese Consortium told La Stampa. According to Deserti, Parmesan
warehouses are soft targets for thieves, who can easily make off with thousands
of euros worth of the cheese in each heist. Just one 40-kilogram wheel, aged 24
months, cheese is worth 500 euros. Last week, 150 wheels were taken from the
Ronconcesi warehouse outside Parma, it was the second time it had been targeted
in the last year.
