Worker at the Perth Mint charged after ‘stealing a 1kg gold bar worth $52,000’

A contractor for the Perth Mint Refinery has been charged with stealing a one kilogram gold bar worth more than $52,000.

The Perth Mint noticed a gold bar was missing on April 7, prompting an internal inquiry by its security management team.

The theft was then referred to WA Police’s Gold Stealing Detection Unit.

Police searched the home of a 25-year-old Ballajura man.

He was charged with stealing as a servant and gaining benefit by fraud.

The man will appear in Perth Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
