Growing crime rings recently stole reportedly more than $100,000 of Lego bricks in California as well as other states to resell them on the black market.
Legos have apparently emerged as the latest hot target for California theft rings. Two suspects have allegedly stolen more than $100,000 worth of Lego merchandise from six different Southern California stores over the last two months, the L.A. Times reported. One store owner, Whittier resident Katie Leuschner, told the paper that the thieves took approximately $10,000 of product from her store.
She explained that this was because of the high resale value for rarer Legos. "We're a specialty store for people trying to find the Lego set from when they were younger — the things that we do have can't be easily replenished," Leuschner said. "They're not stealing big box sets. They're stealing mini figures, and those individual guys go for $500 to $600 apiece, so they're easily stolen and resold for a quick profit.
