Police release footage in push to find more people involved in the theft of 63,000 limited-edition Bluey coins

Police have released footage in a push to find more people involved in the theft of 63,000 limited-edition coins despite having charged two men.

Two men have been charged over the theft of 63,000 limited-edition Bluey coins from a warehouse in Sydney’s west, as police continue to search for more people involved in the crime.

NSW Police released CCTV footage on Thursday morning of a man they believe can assist with their inquiries.

The footage shows the man at a Commonwealth Bank in Revesby, in Sydney’s west, on June 22.

Police said the man is described as being of Pacific Islander or Maori appearance, of medium build and with a black beard.

The footage shows him getting out of the front passenger seat of a white 4WD, giving something to a homeless person outside the bank and walking inside with a black backpack.

The footage cuts off as he approaches what appears to be a coin deposit machine.

Police are also still searching for the driver of the white 4WD. This person cannot be clearly seen inside the car.

A truckload of the limited-edition $1 coins were stolen from a warehouse in Wetherill Park, in western Sydney, in June.

The coins were being stored in the warehouse and were marked with an image of the now-iconic Australian cartoon character Bluey.

Some of the coins were found in the possession of a legitimate collector. After that discovery, police made the arrests and found 189 of the unreleased coins at the home of a 47-year-old male.

That man has been charged with three counts of break and enter to commit a serious indictable offence. Police will allege in court he worked at the warehouse the coins were taken from.

A second man, aged 44, has appeared in court on the same charges, though his alleged connection has not been reported.

Anyone who has a Bluey coin does not have to surrender them to police.

Superintendent Joe Doueihi said in August if anyone was “lucky” enough to have one of the coins in their personal possession, they were legally tendered currency and could be used in general circulation.

The coins were due to enter circulation in September. In mid-August, police said they had recovered about 1000 of the 63,000 coins.

The stolen coins are different from a set of three Bluey-themed coloured coins the Royal Australian Mint released in June. Those 90,000 $1 coins are being sold online for $20.

Bluey is an Australian-made, global cartoon phenomenon.
