RAIDERS broke into a Southampton care home - then escaped in a car belonging to one of the nursing staff.

Police said the burglars struck at Oakfield House in Winchester Road, Shirley, between 4pm and 6pm on Sunday.

After climbing through a window, they forced open a drugs cupboard but did not take anything.

Police said the intruders picked up car keys before driving off in a white Renault Clio.
