By Danielle Wainwright

A woman was met by a pair of thieves as she returned to her Stretford home last week after the intruders broke down her door and swiped two laptops, and iPad and a mobile phone. 

The 48-year-old woman arrived at her home on Edge Lane at around 2.20pm on September 12 when she was confronted by two thieves in her hallway.

She then ran screaming from her house for help as the intruders climbed over a garage and fled towards Wansbeck Lodge.

The men had forced their way into the house through a side door and smashed the sounding alarm with an unknown item.

The men then rummaged through the woman’s belongings before taking laptops, and iPad and a mobile phone. 

Police Constable Jackie Donohue said: “The victim got quite a shock when she returned home to find two burglars in her hallway and is obviously upset and distressed at knowing they have rummaged through her personal belongings and stolen personal possessions.

“If anyone was in the area and saw these two men at the time of the burglary or thinks they know who they are then please call us.”

One offender was white, about 21 years old, 5ft 10in tall and of slim build. He had short fair hair and was wearing a dark hooded top and grey tracksuit bottoms. 

The second offender is described as white, 21 years old and of medium build. 

Anyone with information should call police on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
