Appeal after 69 year-old woman robbed in her Giffnock home

Detectives in Giffnock are appealing for witnesses after a housebreaking in on Monday 10th April.

Around 5pm, three masked men broke into a house in Rouken Glen Road and threatened a 69 year-old woman who was within the house at the time.

They stole a quantity of cash and jewellery from the house and made off when family members arrived at the address.

Two of the three men got into a dark grey coloured Volvo car driven by a fourth man. The third man made off on foot and both him and the vehicle were last seen making off in the direction of Eastwood Toll.

No one was injured at during this incident, however the elderly woman within the house is extremely shaken as a result of this crime.

The suspects were all wearing dark coloured clothing and enquiries are ongoing to trace them.

Detective Constable Craig Faskin from Giffnock Police Office said:

“This was an extremely frightening ordeal for this woman who was within her own home and those responsible must be caught.

“Officers are still gathering information on this crime and establishing exactly what was stolen from the house and the exact circumstances surrounding the crime.

“Rouken Glen Road would have been very busy around the time of this robbery and I would urge any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police, or anyone with information that may assist our ongoing investigation to contact Giffnock Police Office through 101. Alternatively CRIMESTOPPERS can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
