"Police have spoken to those involved and the investigation is ongoing," a police spokeswoman said.

The children were from Flemington Primary School and allegedly spent up to $10,000 using the stolen digits on sporting goods and Apple purchases, Moonee Valley Leader reported.

No charges have been laid.

The school declined to comment and referred media to the Education Department.

A department spokesman said: "This matter is currently being investigated by the police and so it is inappropriate for us to comment."
