According to sources close to the Galactic Union of Smurfs, a group of rogue Smurfs were caught red-handed (or red-pawed?) stealing a wheel of fine Gruyère from the planet Zorgon.
Witnesses claim the Smurfs used advanced cloaking devices and a Smurf-sized submarine to evade capture, but ultimately, their love of cheese proved to be their downfall.
The Smurfs are being held in a maximum-security holding cell, where they are undergoing intensive cheese-replacement therapy.
As the investigation continues, officials are left wondering: "Is this an isolated incident, or is the Smurf community at large involved in a larger cheese-heist?"
