Ian Thorpe allegedly robbed while moving house

Ian Thorpe has allegedly been robbed by removalists.

Following a sighting at a Sydney police station on Thursday, 2GB radio station broke the news that the former swimmer fell victim to a $150,000 robbery.

2GB host Ben Fordham revealed on Monday that the alleged suspects were removalists.

“He has had some things stolen from his house – watches, jewellery, some personal items,” Thorpe’s manager James Erskine said on Friday.

“He called up his insurers, they said go and make a police report.

“Doesn’t seem that there was a break-in.”

Thorpe was seen at Paddington Police Station on Thursday.

On 2GB, Fordham said “as part of the police investigation, officers are examining a removalist company”.

“Ian Thorpe is of the belief that his watches and jewellery went missing during a move,” Fordham said.

“Watches, jewellery and some other small, valuable items. He doesn’t know how much they’re worth, but his best guess is $150,000.”

Thorpe is one of Australia’s most decorated Olympians, claiming the most individual medals at the Sydney 2000 Games, aged just 17.

NewsWire has approached Mr Erskine for comment.
