Stirling pensioner robbed in her own home
Police are appealing for information after a 73-year-old woman was robbed at her home in Stirling.
The incident happened on Ewing Court at about 15:15 on Thursday.
Police said the woman answered her door and a man forced his way inside, stealing a purse containing bank cards and cash before running off towards Bannockburn Road.
She was not injured but officers described the incident as very distressing.
The suspect is described as white, around 40 years old, about 5ft 10in tall, with short blond hair. He was wearing a distinctive hooded top - grey and blue on the top and white on the bottom - along with blue shorts and black trainers. He spoke with a local accent.
