Bone, 49, had entered Brackenhall Court on Todd Street in June as people were leaving the home and said he was there to collect money for cleaning windows.

It is understood that he knocked on a number of doors until somebody opened the door and let him inside.

Once inside he committed burglary in one of the flats in Brackenhall Court and escaped. He stole cash and was later identified on CCTV.

He also took a wallet containing cash from Holly Court Care Home in Bury in 2012.

He was sentenced at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Count on Tuesday 9 December.
