HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man has been charged with stealing more than $160,000 worth of Jamaican cheese.
Prosecutors say Darluis Ortiz, 18, stole pallets of Tastee Cheese products from a food warehouse in Moonachie on Sept. 23.
Tastee cheese is often eaten with spiced or sweetened buns, especially at Easter. It’s produced by Dairy Industries Jamaica Ltd.
Ortiz was arrested and was charged with theft, burglary, conspiracy and possessing burglary tools. He was being held in the Bergen County jail on bail that was $10,000 less than the value of the canned, processed cheese.
Ortiz was arrested after a two-week investigation.
