Police have arrested a man in Adelaide for allegedly stealing A$250,000 ($277,840) worth of children’s toys.
South Australia Police attended an address in Adelaide’s northwest on Saturday as part of an operation to combat retail theft.
They discovered about 2500 different toys, including 1700 boxes of Lego,during the search.
The goods, which were believed to have been stolen from department stores across the South Australian city, had an estimated value of AU$250,000 ($277,840).
It is alleged that they were planned to be sold online.
Three trucks were needed to move all the toys from the property, according to the outlet.
A 41-year-old man was arrested and charged with theft and unlawful possession.
The arrest was a result of the combined efforts between the retail industry and police, Acting Assistant Commissioner of Metropolitan Operations Service, John De Candia said.
The New York Times reported in April that Lego had become a hot commodity on the black market and the target of theft due to its high prices on the second-hand market.
