Three men have been charged after Lego worth £4,000 was stolen over two days.
Toys worth around £650 were stolen from B&M in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, at around 5pm on Monday 29 August.
More Lego sets worth around £1,000 were then stolen from another B&M store in Mansfield, at around 8pm the same evening.
The following day, Lego sets and children’s toys worth almost £3,000 were stolen from a third B&M store, at Victoria Retail Park in Netherfield.
Following inquiries, three men were arrested in the Newark area on Wednesday.
Conlon McDonagh, 22, of Gregory Road, Southall, Ealing; Tom McDonagh, 22, of Greenwood Avenue, Enfield; and Patrick Ward, 22, of Gregory Road, Southall have since been charged with three counts of theft.
The trio were due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates Court on Friday 2 September.

“This includes targeted operations in hot-spot areas, increased patrols and working closely with businesses and local authorities to reduce retail crime.”
