Police were first called to the scene on Plank Line in South West Oxford Township at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 21, 2017. The investigation revealed that sometime between Feb. 20 and 21, individuals broke into the business, removed a large amount of cheese from the walk-in cooler and grabbed a number of items from the front of the store before taking off.
