Daily Mail:

British athletics hero Mo Farah’s brother has been jailed after trying to break into an elderly couple’s home.

Omar Farah, 21, who has 15 previous convictions, was caught trying to break into the pensioners’ home after visiting his girlfriend in west London.

He was caught when he unwittingly tried to climb into their ground-floor bedroom thinking it was unoccupied.

According to police it was his 20th offence in a string of convictions which include burglary, robbery and handling stolen goods.

Omar is the Olympic champion’s half-brother as they share the same father Mukhtar.

Farah, 21 pleaded guilty to one count of attempted burglary with intent to steal at Kingston Crown Court today.

He had previously spoken about the support Mo, 31, had given him, seeing him as a role model, while in a 2013 interview he said he had been training as a graphic designer in a bid to avoid getting into trouble.

Today a judge branded his criminal record ‘unimpressive’, although the court heard he had not committed any further crimes since he tried breaking into the pensioner’s home at around 7am March 2 last year.

Prosecutor José Olivares-Chandler said: ‘There were two elderly Polish occupants in a downstairs bedroom of this residential premises.

‘There were woken by noise and it became clear there was a stranger at the window.

‘The male occupant saw an arm, shouted and disturbed that stranger who ran off across the front garden, through the gate and away.’

The elderly couple slept in a ground floor bedroom which overlooking their front garden.

Despite being woken by Farah they did not see him but his fingerprints were found on the window.

The prosecutor continued: ‘He was arrested at a later date after details were circulated and gave no comment during interview.’

Mo Farah put family troubles behind him to win another two gold medals in the last week, it emerged yesterday.

For as Mo repeated his Olympic heroics at the European Championships, his younger brother Omar was remanded behind bars charged with burglary.

The 21-year-old is accused of breaking into a house with the intent to steal and will appear in court next month.

He was detained in Wandsworth Prison in south-west London while 31-year-old Mo won the gold medal in the 10,000m at the European Championships held in Zurich on Wednesday and the 5,000 metres yesterday.

Previously, Omar has spoken about the support and advice given to him by his older brother and double Olympic gold medallist, Mo, 31, to help him rebuild his life.

In an interview last year, Omar, who said he was training to be a graphic designer in an attempt to stay out of trouble, said: ‘I’m moving forward with my life and I have Mo to thank.’

‘The friendship is still good. My dad said: ‘Why can’t you be more like Mo?’ and that’s what I aim to do now.’

But just over a year and a half later, Omar is being held in Britain’s largest prison accused of burgling a semi-detached house in Brentford, Middlesex.

He is expected to face the charges at Kingston Crown Court on September 8.

Mo, who was awarded a CBE last year after winning the 5,000m and 10,000m for Great Britain at the London 2012 Games, is said to be aware of the accusations against his sibling.

Speaking after Mo – who is known for his trademark dance the Mobot – clinched his 10,000m victory in the Olympic Stadium, Omar told of his admiration for his brother.
