Olympic shot putter Sophie McKinna's kit stolen in Great Yarmouth

An Olympic shot putter said she was "gutted" after her equipment was stolen from her car ahead of a crucial championship.

Sophie McKinna, from Bradwell, near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, said two custom-made shots were taken from outside her home overnight on Monday.

She needs them to be able to compete at the UK Indoor Athletics Championships in Birmingham in a fortnight.

Norfolk Police confirmed they were investigating the theft and urged anyone with information to contact them.
