Nuked Hello, my fellow tech enthusiasts! Today, I have a quirky story to share with you. Police in Los Angeles recently made headlines by arresting four individuals involved in a Lego theft ring. This group allegedly stole over $300,000 worth of Lego sets from retail stores in the area.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) was behind the bust, putting an end to the criminal activities that were fueling a Lego black market in the city. The thieves targeted stores like Target, Home Depot, and Lowe’s, swiping popular sets and selling them through illicit channels.
According to reports, the stolen Lego sets included some high-value items like the Millennium Falcon, Lord of the Rings Rivendell set, Lion Knights’ Castle, and a Porsche 911 set. These collectible sets are always in demand and can fetch a hefty price on the black market.
In an interesting twist, the CHP shared images of the confiscated Lego sets on Instagram, showcasing the scale of the operation. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about Lego thefts – similar incidents have been reported in other parts of the world, highlighting the popularity and value of these beloved building blocks.
