Armed robber foiled in Lego heist

Police in Florida are looking for a little girl who pulled a knife on a shop assistant as she tried to steal two boxes of Lego on Tuesday night. The girl, aged about seven or eight, hid the toys under her coat and tried to walk out the door, reports Tampabays10.com.

A store employee was watching and approached the child, asking her to turn over the Lego blocks. Police say the little girl then opened her jacket and displayed a ten-inch carving knife.

The employee talked the girl into putting down the knife and the toys. The girl then rode away on her bicycle.
