Police have released CCTV pictures of two men they want to speak to after burglars smashed into a home in Salford.

Two men are believed to have stolen designer handbags, accessories, trainers and jewellery from a house on Fairmount Road.

Officers were first called to a report of the pair behaving suspiciously at around 11.55am on Wednesday, January 20.

They found they had smashed into a house on the street by breaking through a bi-fold patio door.
