What started with stolen LEGO sets ended with a 45-year prison sentence for a Texas man after a jury convicted him of organised retail theft in connection with a multi-state shoplifting operation that targeted Target stores across Texas and Oklahoma.
Prosecutors said Winston Love was linked to a 50-day theft spree in 2025 that involved more than 250 stolen LEGO sets, along with coffee makers, vacuum cleaners, and gaming accessories. Authorities alleged the operation stretched across dozens of stores and resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in losses.
