Officers conducted a search at a Royal Park address on Saturday and allegedly discovered about 2,500 individual items — including 1,700 unopened boxes of Lego — worth an estimated $250,000. SA Police said it was the largest individual seizure of stolen goods uncovered during its Operation Measure retail theft initiative. Police believed the items were stolen from stores throughout the Adelaide metropolitan area and were "likely" being sold online. The haul was so large that Water Operations officers were needed to remove three truck loads of items from the site, police said. A 41-year-old man has been charged with theft and unlawful possession and is due to appear in Port Adelaide Magistrates Court later this month. Acting Assistant Commissioner Metropolitan Operations Service John De Candia said Operation Measure would continue to target retail theft. "The size of the haul is significant and indicates the depth of the alleged offending we will allege has been taking place"Operation Measure will continue to target recidivist offenders we believe are responsible for the majority of the offending of this nature."Those who purchase cheap goods from online sites are unwittingly facilitating this crime and we would urge them to consider this." Police said Operation Measure worked with those in the retail sector to identify offending patterns and people responsible for retail theft.
