The thief reportedly started his or her crime spree in April at a Bricks & Minifigs store in Ontario and brought another person along. The video shows the two suspects grabbing different products and putting them in boxes. One of them is pulling products from shelves while the other is behind the counter taking items from cases.The Bricks & Minifigs in Whittier lost about $10,000, which covered the cost of replacing store windows and other damage.
The suspect also hit a store in Irvine and most recently tried getting into stores in Anaheim and Costa Mesa, but only caused damage to windows at those locations."Stores are trying to work together to bolster up that security to put more cameras and more alarms and more security gates, but it's hard when we're a mom-and pop shop," said Katie Leuschner.
