Austrian dad steals 120 Lego figures on day out
Police in Bavaria, Germany were called out to an unusual robbery on Saturday after an Austrian man was spotted pinching Lego figures from the Legoland amusement park.
The 45-year-old father of two had taken more than 100 figures by the time he was spotted acting suspiciously - ironically in the new City Police Station attraction.
A Legoland employee noticed him slipping something into his pocket and called some real police officers.
The Austrian man was found to have taken around 120 Lego figures, worth a total of €200.
He was visiting Legoland with his wife and children and had started his pickpocketing spree in the Lego workshop area - obviously unable to wait until he got to the gift shop.
Police in Germany said the man would receive a €1,000 fine, according to a report in the Kronen Zeitung.
