Officers are investigating after a 73-year-old woman was robbed in her own home yesterday afternoon.

She answered her door at Ewing Court around 3.15pm when a man pushed past her and stole a purse containing bank cards and cash.

He then ran off towards Bannockburn Road.

The man is described as white, around 40-years-old, around 5ft 10in tall, with blonde short hair and was wearing a distinctive hooded top which was grey/blue on the top and white on the bottom. He was also wearing blue shorts and black trainers and spoke with a local accent.

Detective Constable Rhianna Christie said: “Although the woman was not injured, this was a very upsetting incident for her and we are keen to trace the man described or speak to anyone who knows who they are.

“In addition, if you have private CCTV or were driving in the area around 3.15pm on Thursday and have dash-cam that could assist officers, then please contact us.”
