The California Highway Patrol announced it had arrested four people who it says had stolen “approximately $300,000” worth of Lego sets for sale on the black market.
Los Angeles citizens can rest easy knowing that a criminal theft ring is no longer stalking the city’s retail stores to feed a Lego black market. That’s because the California Highway Patrol announced this week that it had arrested four people it accused of swiping what police estimated was “approximately $300,000” worth of Lego sets.
” Police say they were booked on “charges related to Organized Retail Theft, Grand Theft, and Conspiracy to commit a crime.” The CHP posted images of the bust on Instagram. Stolen sets included the $85 921-piece Millennium Falcon , the $500 6,167-piece Lord of the Rings Rivendell castle, and a $170 1,458-piece Porsche 911 set. Like any other collectible, Lego sets are prime targets. In 2021, French police announced they were investigating an international Lego crime ring.
