64,000 unreleased $1 Bluey coins, featuring the popular Australian cartoon character, were stolen from a Sydney warehouse. Police arrested a second suspect, a 44-year-old man, who has been charged with three counts of aggravated break and enter to commit a serious indictable offence. They believe he worked with another suspect, a 47-year-old man, who was previously arrested and charged with three counts of break and enter, committing a serious indictable offence. The stolen coins, reportedly worth $600,000, are believed to be sold online at ten times their face value, with around 63,000 coins still unaccounted for, suspected to be in circulation. Police continue their investigation under "Strike Force Bandit" and urge the public for any information related to the two other alleged suspects.
