Police have issued a video appeal after two men broke into a shed at a community garden. The incident happened at the site of the Cleavley Community Forest Garden in Winton, Eccles, Salford.
CCTV footage has now been released by Greater Manchester Police's Salford division. The footage shows two men wearing hoodies and black gloves attempting to break in to the shed within the community project's gardens.
One crouches down and attempts to force open the locked shed as the other stands back. The door, which appears to have been damaged in the break-in bid, won't open.
