Theft of three Olympic volleyball medals from a home in the Los Angeles area

Laguna Hills, Calif. — Three Olympic medals belonging to a member of the U.S. women’s volleyball team were reported stolen from a Southern California residence on Thursday.

The medals were temporarily held at a residence in Laguna Hills and were inside a safe that was stolen on October 29, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

No arrests have been made.

A gold medal was from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, a silver medal was from the 2012 London Olympics, and a bronze medal was from the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The medals’ owner was not immediately identified by the authorities.

A medal belonging to a member of the women’s volleyball team has been stolen in Orange County for the second time this year.

The 2020 gold medal of Jordyn Poulter was reported stolen on May 25 after her car was broken into in an Anaheim parking garage, according to police.

Later, detectives captured a suspect in the heist, but they were unable to immediately locate the stolen medal. The medal was returned in June after the owners of a barbershop in Anaheim reported finding it in a plastic bag outside their establishment and turning it over to authorities.

A 31-year-old Anaheim resident with a significant criminal history has been charged in connection with the crime.
