A 79-year-old woman has been tracked down in the theft of a Lego set from Target at Rolling Acres Plaza.
A loss prevention officer spotted the woman, who was wearing a black shirt and leopard-print pants, walk out of the store at about 3:30 p.m. Sept. 5 carrying a Lego set for which she had not paid, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. The Lego set was priced at $159.99.
She carried the Lego set to a black Buick Encore and left the parking lot, but a store employee was able to get the vehicle’s license plate number before she drove away.
Police were able to locate Emma Jane Seymore of Wildwood who was shown a surveillance image from Target.
“Oh, that’s a good picture of me,” she said when shown the surveillance image. Seymore said she no longer had the Lego set, as she had given it to a little boy she had seen during her drive home.
She was issued a notice to appear on a charge of retail theft on Sept. 26 in Lake County Court.
