A former Saddleworth estate agent, attacked and robbed by three masked men in his home, is urging locals to stay alert.
Police were called to a report of a burglary at the home of Gwyn Jones on Wool Road, Dobcross around 9pm on Saturday (December 19).
Officers confirmed three men had entered the property before threatening and assaulting terrified Mr Jones with a baseball bat demanding money.
Mr Jones, 52, who sustained head, arm and torso injuries, said later: “I was in bed I was asleep and I heard a noise downstairs.
“They smashed their way in through patio doors with rocks from garden. They even kicked my pet dog Alfie. I called 999 and officers were here within minutes.”
