Robbers in a U-Haul busted into a University Place, Washington store…to help themselves to a bunch of LEGOs. Sasquatch Bricks was home to “a lot of retired, high-end collectible” LEGO sets. Store owner Scott Nelson believes the robbers had been into his store before because the smash-and-grab job took less than five minutes, and the thieves were able to make off with $10K worth of the collectible sets. Police are now looking at surveillance videos and are asking the public for help if they see someone trying to unload the LEGOs in person or online.
