Reports of antisemitic attacks on Jewish-owned businesses and a synagogue in north Manchester are being investigated, police have said.

Several buildings in the Kings Road and Bury Old Road area of Prestwich were daubed with "racially or religiously aggravated" graffiti on Sunday, said Greater Manchester Police (GMP).

The force said it was following several lines of inquiry and added that additional officers had been deployed to the area to support residents.

GMP said officers were keen to speak to anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage from the area.
