ROWER'S FOUR OLYMPIC MEDALS STOLEN

 

Police have arrested and charged a man for allegedly stealing four Olympic medals belonging to Australian rower Drew Ginn. But the medals – three gold and a silver – are still missing.

The 47-year-old man, who was wanted on a warrant over the alleged theft, was arrested on Wednesday in Brunswick, a northern suburb of Melbourne. Authorities said Ginn's medals were believed to have been stolen from the back of a Land Rover parked in the Victorian capital about a week ago.

Ginn is one of Australia's most decorated Olympic athletes and was a member of the champion rowing crew known as "The Oarsome Foursome."

He won the medals during a nearly two decade Olympic career that began at the 1996 games in Atlanta and continued through to the London Olympics in 2012.

The 49-year-old voiced hope that, rather than being sold, the medals might find their way back to their rightful owner.
