In the early hours of Thursday 4 December 2003 intruders broke into Woodhouse Park Clinic in Wythenshawe south of Manchester. They caused extensive damage to doors, cupboards and filing cabinets. Here two healthcare workers show us a door which the burglars broke through in their search for money and possibly drugs.

I was called in by the publicity department of South Manchester Primary Care Trust to document the damage and provide photos with staff for publication in local newspapers. I received the call at around 12.15 and had completed the job and supplied 19 photos on CD by 3.15.
