Another Southern California LEGO store fall victims to burglars

Burglars continue to target LEGO retailers across Southern California.

Bricks & Minifigs, a nationwide chain of franchised LEGO stores, have experienced break-ins at several locations over the last several months, the most recent taking place in Lomita early Tuesday morning.

The crime was all caught on camera, with surveillance video showing two people, faces covered, entering the store after shattering the glass of the front door.

Once inside, they grabbed several LEGO boxed sets; one of burglars even came back for more before leaving.

“Took at least $5,000,” said Miguel, who opened the store less than a year ago. He said he took on a big risk for his family when he opened the store. “This is for them,” he said.

In recent months, several other stores have been targeted, including one in Ontario, where the burglars made off with thousands of dollars in merchandise.

Another break-in took place in Whittier, where one thief with a trash bag and headlamp was caught on camera.

In Lomita Tuesday afternoon, members of the community were already coming out to show their support for Miguel’s store.

“I heard what happened… I have my money,” said 5-year-old Grayson, who visited the store often with his dad. The two said they knew they needed to stop in on Tuesday to show their support.

Even during this difficult time, Miguel says he knows they will make it through.

Several law enforcement agencies were in contact with one another about these burglaries, though it was not known yet if they were connected.

Anyone with any information should contact their local law enforcement agency.
