Australian Worker Arrested for Alleged Theft of $400,000 in 'Bluey' Coins

Police recover a fraction of the stolen commemorative coins as most remain in circulation, selling for ten times their value.

The 47-year-old suspect allegedly stole 64,000 unreleased limited-edition coins from a Sydney warehouse.
The coins, featuring characters from the popular children's show 'Bluey,' are highly sought after by collectors.
Authorities have recovered only 1,000 of the stolen coins, with the rest believed to be in general circulation.
The coins were stolen from the back of a truck and sold online within hours for significantly higher prices.
Police have set up Strike Force Bandit to investigate and recover the remaining coins.
