On 27 March, Reckless Ben as known on YouTube was charged by American Fork City police with stalking, targeted residential picketing, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass in relation to some of these tactics. But things really exploded on 21 May, when Schneider, who has 1.4m subscribers, posted a video called "I tracked down the thief who stole $200,000 of LEGO". The feature-length video has garnered over 5m views as of mid-June. Its popularity has helped rally the internet around Mansell and his father - and sparked numerous conspiracy theories. Some have even accused the American Fork City police of helping to cover up a crime, alleging they are working on behalf of Bricks & Minifigs. On 29 May, the police department issued a statement saying "our involvement in these cases was limited to fulfilling our legal obligations and enforcing Utah law". But that statement has done little to assuage the rumors, with supporters even interrupting a June city council meeting in American Fork City to accuse the police of misconduct.
