BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) – Three people are under arrest Wednesday after allegedly stealing two truck trailers in California that contained pricey Lego products. 

Jose Lopez, 37, of San Bernardino, Ruben Lopez Flores, 25, of Los Angeles and Freddy Hernandez Polinar, (35) of Chino were taken into custody after deputies from the Kern County Sheriff’s Office at the Mojave Substation responded to the block of 400 block of Silver Queen Road regarding suspicious vehicles. 
 
When they arrived, the deputies saw two box trucks fleeing the area, according to an advisory from the Kern County Sheriff’s Office. After conducting traffic stops on both vehicles, deputies searched the trucks and found approximately $1 million worth of Lego products stolen from two freight trailers. 

After completing their investigation, law enforcement determined that the two freight trailers were stolen while in transit from Fort Worth, Texas, to Moreno Valley, California.

As part of their sentence, make them walk on them at night, barefoot.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I, for the life of me, can't imagine why these people would put themselves in legal jeopardy for a couple of truck loads of Legos.

They might not seem like much, but the price of Legos has gone sky high.
