OnTouched script logic and bypass help?

Normally I would use something like this:

function Touched(hit)
	if hit.Anchored == true then	
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Hull.Front.Value = true
		print("ANCHORED front")
	end
end

function TouchEnd()
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Hull.Front.Value = false
	print("not anchored front")
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(Touched)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:connect(TouchEnd)

But this only detects when any brick TOUCHES its face. Is there anyway to alter this script into saying "if it detects a anchored brick within the 5 studded bricks volume, turn front.value to true" not just the surface?

A good idea is to make a transparent block surrounding it out from 5 studs on each side that connects to the brick. Do you know what I mean?
