Police call for public help in hunt for Olympic gold medal

Canterbury police are searching for a precious Olympic medal that was stolen in a burglary. Rowing legend Les O'Connell's gold medal was stolen from his home in the Christchurch suburb of Strowan around the early hours of Monday morning. The medal holds huge sentimental value to him, and he has pleaded for whoever has it to do the right thing. Police are now appealing to people who may have CCTV footage that could help them in the hunt. Christchurch Detective Nigel Thomson spoke to Lisa Owen.
