Police are looking for three Olympic medals - gold, silver and bronze - belonging to a member of the United States women's volleyball team which were stolen from a Southern California home.

The medals were being temporarily stored at a home in Laguna Hills, ESPN reports.

They were inside a safe that was taken in a burglary on October 29, Orange County Sheriff's Department said.

No arrests have yet been made.

The gold medal was from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the silver from the 2012 London Olympics and the bronze from the 2016 Games in Brazil.

Authorities didn't immediately identify the owner of the medals.

It's the second time this year that a medal belonging to a member of the women's volleyball team has been stolen in Orange County.

Jordyn Poulter reported her Tokyo 2020 gold medal was stolen on May 25 after her car was broken into at a parking garage in Anaheim.

Detectives later arrested a suspect in the theft but weren't immediately able to locate the missing medal.

It was finally returned in June after the owners of an Anaheim barbershop reported finding the medal inside a plastic bag discarded outside their business and turned it over to police.

A 31-year-old Anaheim resident described by police as having a lengthy criminal history has been charged in the theft.
