A mountain of Lego found in a suburban drug raid is so large police are going to need a truck to seize it.
The 1130 boxes worth more than $200,000 were discovered on Tuesday alongside a meth lab and boxes of gemstones at a Botanic Ridge house on Melbourne’s suburban fringe.
Police say there are so many of the plastic building blocks that a truck will be needed to transport it.

A 36-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman were arrested with the man charged with trafficking, proceeds of crime and firearms offences.
He appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday and was remanded to reappear in February.
The woman was released without charge.

‘It’s not unusual for police to seize a range of different items from a property as part of an investigation like this, however this is more often drugs or cash,’ Detective Inspector Anthony Vella said.
‘This is the first time our detectives have seized a Lego collection – let alone one so large that it requires specific transportation to remove it.’
Police will allege the Lego and gemstones are proceeds of crime.
