Two men have been jailed for robbing the Olympic cyclist Mark Cavendish and his wife, Peta, of their high-value watches in a knifepoint raid at their home.

Intruders wearing balaclavas broke into their home in Ongar, Essex, at about 2.30am on 27 November 2021 and threatened to stab the athlete, a trial at Chelmsford crown court heard. They took items including two Richard Mille watches with a combined value of 700,000.
