Thieves nabbed with $300K in stolen Legos, CHP says
When authorities seize hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bricks, they usually aren’t referring to Legos.
But that’s exactly what the California Highway Patrol discovered when serving search warrants at four sites in Los Angeles and Orange counties on Tuesday, the agency said in a press release.
Investigators discovered what they estimate to be $300,000 worth of Lego sets that had been stolen from stores like Target, Home Depot and Lowe’s, then given to fences to be sold to people and stores under the guise of being legitimately procured.
