Victoria police said Drew Ginn’s medals from four consecutive Olympics were in the back of a Land Rover that was parked on Cumberland Street in Docklands when they were stolen last week. Detectives believe the medals, along with a Go Pro camera, headphones and a wetsuit, were stolen sometime between 9pm Thursday and 5am Friday.
According to police, Ginn had left the medals in his car as he had a speaking engagement at a school.“These are unbelievably rare items with significant sentimental value,” Det Sgt Timothy Reiher from the Melbourne Crime Investigation Unit said in a statement on Wednesday.“They’ve got a lot of value for family and friends but you can’t insure them,” he said.
He said the medals had been “hidden away in the car, but the car was ransacked completely so lots of stuff was broken and destroyed”.
