Thieves rammed Brick Evolution in Cheltenham in a smash and grab, stealing $6,000 worth of Lego in under five minutes. Brick Evolution was also robbed last year; thieves took $60,000 worth of Lego.
Owner Chris Hurwood opened the store partly to help his own mental health recovery and now runs it as a safe space for vulnerable children. The store runs programs through the NDIS and other workshops.
Hurwood said the impact was devastating but vowed to keep operating. He is installing bollards to prevent future ram raids.
