Australian police have arrested a man accused of stealing over $393,000 worth of unreleased limited-edition coins featuring Bluey, the character from the popular animated children’s show.

The Australian-dollar coins were stolen from the back of a truck in a warehouse in Sydney in June, New South Wales police said in a statement Wednesday following the arrest.

Australian police said they were informed in July about the theft of 63,000 unreleased commemorative Bluey coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint. A police investigation led to the recovery of 189 coins last month and the arrest of a 47-year-old man.
