When did the 63,000 Bluey coins disappear from the Sydney warehouse?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 63,000 Bluey coins disappeared from a Sydney warehouse on July 12.

The theft of 63,000 limited edition Bluey coins occurred on July 12 from a warehouse located in Wetherill Park, Sydney. These coins, created by the Royal Australian Mint, had a combined value exceeding A$600,000 and were slated for a September launch.
Arrest of Third Suspect

Authorities have arrested a third individual, Christina Vale, in connection with the heist. Vale, aged 27, was taken into custody and charged with aggravated break and enter and handling stolen goods. She was denied bail and her next court appearance is scheduled for November 28.
Recovery of Stolen Coins

As part of the ongoing investigation, dubbed Strike Force Bandit, detectives recovered more than 40,000 of the missing Bluey coins. These coins were discovered at a self-storage facility in Wentworthville, with some still in Royal Australian Mint bags.
Previous Arrests and Ongoing Investigation

Two other suspects, Steven John Neilson, a former warehouse employee, and Nassar Kanj, were arrested in August and are currently awaiting trial. During Neilson's arrest, 189 of the stolen coins were initially found. It is possible that some of the coins may have already entered general circulation.
