The search is on for several Commonwealth Games medals after they were stolen from an Australian sprinter last month.

Victoria Police said the medals, belonging to sprinter Sean Wroe, were taken from an apartment in South Yarra, in Melbourne's inner suburbs on Friday, September 9.

Passports, jewellery and cash were also taken, police said.

The missing Commonwealth Games medals include a 2006 gold medal for the 4x400-metre relay, a 2010 silver for the 400m relay, and a 2010 silver for the 400m sprint.

Several other medals were taken, including a 2009 World Championship relay bronze, and a 2007 Summer Universiade gold and silver for the 400m sprint and 400m relay.

Police said a 25-year-old man from Fawkner in Melbourne's north had been charged over the robbery, but the medals were still missing.

The medals are of great sentimental value to Wroe, police said.

It is not the first time sporting medals have been stolen from athletes.

A 2006 Commonwealth Games gold medal for table tennis was stolen during a break-in at a home in Melbourne's north-west earlier this year.

Anyone with information has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
