LEGO City 60140, “Bulldozer Break-In”, depicts a police response to a break-in involving a bulldozer. Released in 2017 under the Police theme, the set includes 561 pieces and 5 minifigures built around a clear criminals versus police scenario.
Set 60140 sits within LEGO City, specifically the Police branch of the theme. Its subject is an urban crime scene in which a bulldozer is tied to a break-in and the police response that follows. The setup matches the City Police format, using recognizable roles, vehicles and conflict to create a straightforward play situation.
The set contains 561 pieces and 5 minifigures. The lineup includes Criminal Joe Frankfurter with red overalls over a prison shirt and black hat, a criminal with an open dark green jacket over a prison shirt, black hat and beard, a policewoman in a bright light blue shirt with radio and badge, a policeman with a dark bluish gray vest with radio, badge and pouches over a dark blue shirt, and a policewoman in a dark blue jacket with a white helmet and visor. The build combines vehicle, accessories and character-driven action.
It is aimed mainly at narrative play in a LEGO City layout, where the roles of criminals and officers are immediately understandable. For collectors of City Police sets, 60140 adds a break-in case centered on heavy equipment rather than a routine patrol. On display, it works best as a compact urban action scene.
