Bricks & Minifigs break-ins: Thieves target several SoCal LEGO shops in string of burglaries [Video]

COSTA MESA, Calif. (KABC) — Thousands of dollars in merchandise has been stolen from several different Southern California Bricks & Minifigs stores, which specialize in LEGO products, and owners believe the same person is responsible for the crimes.

Eyewitness News obtained surveillance video from several of the incidents involving the toy retailer.

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 thief also appeared to target a store in Riverside and another in Whittier.

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 …
