A £3000 reward has been offered by Crimestoppers to anyone with information leading to the arrest and conviction of any of the men involved in a day time raid on a care home on Greater Manchester.

On Monday a gang of men wearing balaclavas raided the Pendleton Court Care Home on Chaseley Road, Salford at around 16:00.

Staff and family members were in the home at the time along with more than 50 residents.

A member of staff was forced to hand over cash residents jewellery.

It is understood that no one was seriously injured in the incident.
