A man from Oregon has been arrested for allegedly stealing legos and other products and then selling them online.

It’s not every day you come across a Lego crime boss, but police in Portland, Oregon, say they’ve arrested the leader of a ring that stole and resold Lego sets from stores in the community.

Raji Afife Azar, 40, faces charges of aggravated theft, money laundering and computer crimes, according to the Portland Police Bureau. Police found more than $50,000 in stolen Legos and other toys in his house following his arrest.

Azar faces accusations that he led a fencing operation that arranged thefts of Legos and other toys from Portland-area Fred Meyer stores, purchased them for pennies on the dollar, then resold them online, police said. Many of those committing the thefts suffered from drug addiction.
