Detectives from the gold stealing unit based in Kalgoorlie made the charges after high grade gold specimens were sold at a pawn shop in Perth.

It will be alleged the 38-year-old Brabham man took the precious metal from the processing plant of the Goldfields mine before selling it and depositing the money in his bank account.

He was charged with two counts of fraud and one count of stealing as servant and will appear in the Perth Magistrate’s Court on December 11.
