Cops in Bensalem, Pennsylvania have bricked Philadelphia resident Richard Briggs’s $1,000+ LEGO shoplifting spree for good, nailing him on six retail theft charges plus corruption of a minor in three separate shoplifting incidents at the same Target store, the Bucks County Courier Times reports.
Briggs, who was identified through surveillance footage, had twice used a female toddler to help him conceal the boxes of the building toys in a shopping cart as he simply walked out of the store without paying three times starting in December. The third time, on Friday, he had a male toddler with him when he was nabbed trying to walk out with $643 worth of LEGO sets. Cops say Briggs is not the same guy suspected in two other Lego thefts at the Barnes and Noble Bookstore and the same Target in February, who remains at large. Neither of them look like the photo illustration above.
