Petrol bomb thrown at house with children inside
GMPThree children were inside a house that was attacked with a petrol bomb, police have said.
Fire and rescue crews were called to a property in the Rusholme area of Manchester at 21:25 GMT on 5 February.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) believe a dark blue Seat Ibiza car drove by the house on Birch Hall Lane before a petrol bomb was thrown.
No-one was injured in the attack but GMP said the building suffered extensive damage.
'Dreadful consequences'
The force has released a CCTV image of the suspicious vehicle.
Det Con Samuel Cullen said: "Fortunately, no-one was injured during this thoughtless attack.
"There were three children present in the address at the time, and the consequences could have been dreadful.
"I understand the concern that this will raise within the local community.
"I can reassure residents that we are investigating this crime with all resources that are available to us."
He urged anyone who saw anything suspicious on Birch Hall Lane around the time of the attack to get in touch.
