Get the inside track on the big stories from Manchester courts with our weekly newsletter A charity is set to claw back thousands of pounds after £90,000 was transferred to a woman's account in error at one of its shops.

Comfort Konadu received the 'unexpected windfall' in her account, after going to return an item she had purchased from a Royal Mencap Society charity shop in Openshaw.

She didn't tell anyone about the error and instead made a 'flurry' of transactions, transferring £57,000 of the cash out into other accounts including to her children.

The bank were able to freeze some of the money, but the charity, which supports people with learning disabilities, lost more than £31,000.
