Snippet #3: Lego Meth Odd

Crime Report

Officials in Melbourne, Australia, raided a home on Oct. 31, where they found a meth lab, boxes of gemstones and so many Legos that they’ll need a truck to haul them away, The Guardian reported. Police found 1,130 boxes of the plastic blocks valued at more than $200,000 and arrested a 36-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman. “This is the first time our detectives have seized a Lego collection,” said Detective Inspector Anthony Vella.

Noted is that another article mentions that Lego minifigs are now the most stolen thing as they’re high value with some commanding $500 prices.
