GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Hal David Walsh, 20, of Alachua, was arrested yesterday after allegedly printing barcode stickers and using them to change the prices of nine Lego sets at Target.
The LPO reportedly stopped Walsh as he was leaving the store and took him to his office, where he was cooperative. removable stickers
Post Miranda, Walsh reportedly said he was having financial issues and needed money quickly; he said he intended to sell the Lego sets on eBay.
Walsh has been charged with grand theft. He has no local criminal history; Judge Sean Brewer set bail at $845.

So the judge set bail at the amount that Target could’ve loss if he had gotten away. So next time I’m going through life ish all I gotta do is go in Target and change prices on what I need and when I’m caught explain to them life is out here lifing! I’m married officer and life has been harder than yesterday!
eBay, face book marketplace, offer up, & let go is where the criminals sell their stolen stuff…
That was good work by the loss prevention officer!
Did u go to a real school???
Good grief! What a blockhead.
Which Lego sets? Grogu with Hover Pram, Trotting LanternSweetheart, Tweety Bird, what?
I’m Glad to see legos are still going strong
Just another criminal ‘mastermind’ practicing his trade.
This genius needed money quickly, and his plan was to sell $1k of stolen Lego sets on eBay? How much could he realistically get, maybe $500-600 in a week? Could make that in a shorter time working an honest job like being a delivery driver or working at McDonald’s.
Hope they check his eBay account and see if he’s done this before.
