Police in Los Angeles seized more than 2,800 boxes of stolen LEGO sets from a 71-year-old man’s home Wednesday, authorities said.
Officers arrested 71-year-old Richard Siegel and his alleged accomplice, 39-year-old Blanca Gudino, after raiding the elderly man’s Long Beach home, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Detectives started investigating the case after a retailer in San Pedro identified Gudino as the suspect who had allegedly robbed them several times last December.
Several months later, on June 4, officers witnessed Gudino stealing items from retailers in Torrance and Lakewood before dropping them off at Siegel’s home.
Detectives believe Siegel would sell the stolen goods online since several potential buyers showed up at his home while officers raided it.
