Detectives have charged a third suspect in the theft of 63,000 limited edition “Bluey” coins, valued at tens of thousands of dollars, from a warehouse in Wetherill Park, Sydney.
On July 12, 2024, Fairfield City Police received reports of the large-scale theft of these unreleased $1 coins, produced by the Australian Mint. Strike Force Bandit, led by the Robbery and Serious Crime Squad, began investigating the case, resulting in the arrests of two men who are currently facing court proceedings.

She faces charges of aggravated break and enter and disposing of stolen property. Authorities allege she served as the getaway driver in the heist. The woman was denied bail and is set to appear in Liverpool Local Court.
