Four Olympic Medals Stolen from Australian Rower Drew Ginn's Car

Ginn's medals, intended for a school visit, were taken along with other items; a suspect is in custody but the medals remain missing.

  • Ginn's three gold and one silver Olympic medals were stolen from his Land Rover in Docklands, Melbourne between September 6 and 7.
  • The medals were kept in a sock inside the car, which was ransacked along with other items including a GoPro camera, headphones, and a wetsuit.
  • A 47-year-old suspect from Windsor has been arrested and charged with theft and other related offenses, but the medals have not been recovered.
  • Ginn, a member of the renowned 'Oarsome Foursome' rowing team, won the medals over four consecutive Olympic Games from 1996 to 2012.
  • Authorities are urging the public to watch for the medals in pawn shops and online platforms due to their significant sentimental value.
