Police in Los Angeles seized more than 2,800 boxes of stolen LEGO sets 
from a 71-year-old man's home Wednesday, authorities said.

Officers arrested 71-year-old Richard Siegel and his alleged accomplice, 
39-year-old Blanca Gudino, after raiding the elderly man's Long Beach 
home, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The individual boxes have a retail value ranging from $20 to well over 
$1,000, police said.

Detectives started investigating the case after a retailer in San Pedro 
identified Gudino as the suspect who had allegedly robbed them several 
times last December.

Several months later, on June 4, officers witnessed Gudino stealing 
items from retailers in Torrance and Lakewood before dropping them off 
at Siegel's home. Detectives believe Siegel would sell the stolen goods 
online since several potential buyers showed up at his home while 
officers raided it.

Investigators booked Siegel for organized retail theft, while Gudino was 
booked with grand theft.

The department urged anyone with information on the case to call 
detectives at (310) 726-7900. Those wishing to stay anonymous should 
call Crime Stoppers at 1(800) 222-8477 or text them at 274637.

All text messages should begin with the "LAPD."
