EVERYTHING clicks with Lego at the moment, leading criminals to connect the pieces and target the popular toys.
Thieves have made off with $15,000 worth of Lego in two robberies a week apart at a Victorian toy store.
Detective Senior Constable Ian Porter said the thieves knew what they were after, homing in on mainly the "City" and "Technic" series.
"I believe that they've targeted the store, in particular targeting Lego, because of the value that was stolen and being predominantly the product that was stolen from the store," he told AAP.
Toyworld Seymour owner Werner Baumann said other toys were worth more but the thieves went for the Lego.
"It has been a bit of a spate of robberies through the smaller toy shops over the last six months or so and they're only targeting Lego," he told Fairfax Radio.
"Over the last 12 months it has become one of the hottest toy properties in Australia."
The thieves removed the glass from the door of the Seymour shop, leaving little evidence and giving them easy access.
Det Sen Const Porter believes the offenders have experience in glazing or have glazing tools.
The thieves also removed the hard drive of the store's CCTV, which he said indicated they had been in the store beforehand and knew the layout.
The latest burglary happened between 1pm on Sunday and 7am on Monday.
The first was between 1pm on Saturday 24 May and 8am on Monday 26 May.
