Hillsboro, Ore. man allegedly stole many Lego blocks
A man accused of stealing massive quantities of Lego sets from Target stores and reselling them on the Internet was indicted on felony theft and attempted theft charges Friday.
............................
Records from Bricklink.com indicate Swanberg has sold nearly $600,000 worth of Legos since 2002.
............................
Detectives contend that Swanberg devised a way to replace the bar code on expensive sets with ones from less expensive sets. He purchased Legos at the reduced price and sold them for close to the retail price.
