TWO men have been jailed for a total of seven years for the theft of Team GB skip Rhona Martin’s Salt Lake City Winter Olympics gold medal from a museum.

Stewart Pettigrew, 34, of Dumfries, was found guilty by a jury after a trial at the town’s sheriff court of the theft and jailed for three years and 10 months.

Charlie Walker, 25, a prisoner at Barlinnie, had earlier admitted stealing the 22-carat medal from Dumfries Museum during the break-in in 2014. He received three years and seven months.

Martin, now Rhona Howie, gave evidence, revealing she was “gutted” to learn of the theft of the medal from 2002, which she had loaned out as part of an exhibition celebrating the all Scots team’s success
