LEGO City set 60143, “Auto Transport Heist”, depicts a police response to a robbery connected with vehicle transport. Released in 2017 under the Police subtheme, it contains 403 pieces and fits the action driven urban scenarios of LEGO City.
“Auto Transport Heist” belongs to the Police branch of LEGO City. Its premise links an auto transport situation with a criminal act, giving the set a clear story focus within the wider City setting. It sits alongside other Police sets built around pursuit, response and the contrast between officers and criminals.
The set contains 403 pieces and 4 minifigures. The lineup includes a policeman in a bright light blue shirt with dark blue tie, badge and radio on belt, a policewoman in a bright light blue shirt with radio and badge, dark blue legs, police hat with badge and sunglasses, plus two criminals. One is a bearded male criminal with an open dark green jacket over a prison shirt and black hat, while the other is a female criminal with an open black jacket over a prison shirt and dark red hair.
It is suited to play scenes where the roles are immediately clear and the conflict is self contained. In a LEGO City layout, it can serve as a robbery, patrol or response scene.
