Mo Farah's brother Omar has reportedly been placed behind bars on remand for allegedly being involved in a house break-in.

The 21-year-old will appear in court next month after he was charged with burglary with intent to steal.

According to The Mirror, Omar is being held in Wandsworth jail in South West London after he was accused of breaking into a semi-detached house in Brentford.

Last week, double Olympic champion Mo won gold in the 10,000m final at the European Championship in Zurich before going on to win the 5,000m final on Sunday.
