Organisers of the 2023 Cheltenham Festival have been dealt a blow by the theft of a famous trophy.
The Grand Annual Steeple Chase cup was snatched during the break-in on Thursday evening. Police were informed it went missing with several other items during a burglary at Camelot Silverware in Sheffield.
Staff at the business were working on the cup ahead of the prestigious four-day meeting, which begins on March 14. Officers from South Yorkshire Police are investigating and have appealed for witnesses to the incident at around 6pm.
