A burglar escaped with a diamond watch after wrestling with the occupants of a house during a raid in Middleton.

The thief used tools to force the patio doors of the house on Mainway before combing it for valuables in the early hours of this morning.

Using one of the victims bags to sweep valuables into, they took a set of car keys and a Christian Dior Ladies watch worth 5,500 from the kitchen.

However, he woke the occupants who ran to confront him and wrestled with him in the upstairs of the property as they tried to restrain him.

He dropped the bag filled with stolen goods, and despite suffering an injured leg in the melee, managed to escape down the stairs and out the patio doors towards Malvern Road taking the luxury watch with him.

Detectives have now hailed the victims bravery and are appealing for help catching the culprit.

He was white and wearing a black hat or balaclava, grey tracksuit bottoms, a grey hooded tracksuit top and a dark coloured body warmer.

Detective Constable Andrew Robinson said: The occupants of the house showed great bravery in tackling this man, who unfortunately was able to give them the slip.

However, we believe the burglar may have injured his leg in the struggle so he would have found it difficult to get away in the aftermath.

He dropped most of what he had taken, but still ran off with a black Christian Dior ladies watch with diamonds on the face.

Manchester United star Angel Di Maria is looking to "transfer" from home to away after his mansion went on sale for an eye-watering 4.1m.

The luxury home has gone on the market within a month of a terrifying raid on the property while he was inside with his family.

Would-be thieves fled empty-handed after triggering an alarm system when they tried in vain to smash patio doors while the Argentinian international was reportedly watching TV with wife, Jorgelina, and their children.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the family moved into a luxury hotel with round-the-clock security in the aftermath of the crime, but now look set to move away for good.

The advert states: "Magnificent mansion set in well-manicured grounds in the heart of Prestbury on a private road.

"Indoor swimming pool with glass panels into the sitting room and hallway which truly envelopes the pool into the heart of the house."

The home also boasts a plush kitchen and family room, with French doors leading to a huge garden.

There is also a sitting room with a drop-down screen, a kids TV room, a play room, an office, a gym, changing room, an indoor pool and jacuzzi and a two-bedroom apartment over the garage.

The fully-furnished home is described as 'very high-spec and high-tech'.

The attempted break was not the only controversy Di Maria, who signed from Real Madrid for 60m in the summer, faced at the home.

Money and alcohol have been stolen in a series of late-night raids on licensed premises in Knaphill.

The Crown and Garibaldi pubs, and Italian restaurant La Bella Amalfi, in the High Street, have all been targeted, with the crimes taking place on five consecutive nights.

It has led to calls for extra police patrols in the village.

At The Garibaldi there was an attempted break-in on Sunday night, causing major damage to some doors, and then at around 3.55am on Tuesday (February, 3) the burglar broke in, having broken a lock on a window to the gentlemens toilets.

The burglar was unable to force his way through further doors and into the pub itself, and he ran off empty-handed with the alarm sounding and the bullmastiff dog of Debbie Harlow, a borough councillor who runs the pub and lives upstairs, barking madly.

Repairing the patio doors and window will cost around 500, Cllr Harlow estimated.

Ive been here for 10 years and Ive never had anything like this before, she said. Normally the dog puts people off. Somebody is targeting businesses.

Around 20 minutes later there was a break-in at The Crown, from where a cash drawer containing 180 was stolen. Around half of this was in notes and half was in change and Ade Jones, who runs the pub with his wife Sarah, found a trail of coins in the street outside.

It is not the first time Mr Joness pub has been targeted.

In April last year he had 3,000-worth of wine taken from a garage.
