Para-swimmer Rosie Bancroft appeals for stolen prosthetic leg's return

An elite Para-swimmer has appealed for the return of her prosthetic leg which was stolen in a "horrible" burglary. ParalympicsGB hopeful Rosie Bancroft, who swims for the City of Manchester team, had hidden the limb in the back seat of her blue Fiat 500 convertible. The car was stolen from outside her house in Manchester on Saturday night. The 23-year-old said her vehicle had been specially adapted, including the positioning of the accelerator pedal, so "we're hoping they didn't get far". Ms Bancroft, originally from Oxford, is studying at the University of Manchester and coaches the swimming club team.
