Product Overview
This 198-piece LEGO City set builds a prisoner transport van with a working jail cell door, plus a getaway motorcycle for high-speed pursuit play. Three minifigures, a police officer and two crooks, bring the chase-and-capture story to life. Builders ages 6 and up can put the van and bike together in about 45 minutes, picking up hands-on practice with basic building concepts like axles, hinges, and interlocking stability along the way.

- Three minifigures included: one police officer and two crooks, ready for role-play jailbreak drama
