Two more men have been charged with robbery after a raid at the home of Olympic cyclist Mark Cavendish.

       The athlete and his wife were threatened at their home in the Ongar area of Essex at about 2.35am on November 27, with their children witnessing the incident.

       Essex Police said no-one sustained serious injuries, but Cavendish said in a statement that his family were “extremely distressed” and “feared for their lives”.
