A 40-year-old man is accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of toy Lego sets.

William Swanberg, who remains behind bars pending a $250,000 bail, allegedly stole Lego sets from Target stores in Oregon by switching the bar codes of the boxes, covering over the pricing labels of expensive sets with labels from inexpensive ones.

Swanberg was indicted Wednesday on two counts of felony theft and once count of attempted felony theft.

Agents had to use a 20-foot truck to cart away the evidence from a suspect's house - mountains of Lego bricks allegedly stolen from Target stores in Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California.

Target officials contacted police after noticing the same pattern at their stores in the five Western states. A Target security guard stopped Swanberg at a Portland-area store Nov. 17, after he bought 10 boxes of the Star Wars Millennium Falcon set.

In his parked car, detectives found 56 of the Star Wars sets, valued at $99 each, as well as 27 other Lego sets. Investigators say records of the Lego collector's Web site, Bricklink.Com, and show that Swanberg has sold nearly $600,000 worth of Legos since 2002.
