Police in the Australian city of Melbourne found thousands of euros worth of LEGO on Thursday in the car of a man arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking.
Police report that the suspect may have bought the 74 boxes of LEGO with the profits he made from drug trafficking. Among the many boxes was also a LEGO package from a police station, worth around 270 euros.
In addition to the many LEGOs, the police also seized more than 1.2 million euros worth of chemicals. The chemicals can be used to produce drugs.
The 45-year-old man also had a pistol, ammunition, a Rolex and other expensive watches. The police confiscated everything. She suspects that these items, like the LEGO, were paid for with drug trafficking profits.
It is according to The Guardian not the first time that police in the state of Victoria, where Melbourne is located, have found LEGO boxes in a drug case. In November, a crystal meth lab was dismantled and 1,130 boxes of LEGO were found. These had a combined value of approximately 120,000 euros.
