Two men have been jailed for carrying out multiple robberies at homes in Glasgow, East Calder and Chryston last February.
Patrick Mooney (41) will spend 10 years behind bars and Patrick Keenan (23) has been sentenced to 9 years in prison.
Detective Inspector Kevin Tait, of Edinburgh Division CID, said: “Abduction and robberies within someone’s home are very intrusive crimes.
"Patrick Mooney and Patrick Keenan targeted their victims, planned their attacks and had no regard for the impact that these crimes have on the victim and their families.
"We carried out extensive investigations with our colleagues from across the country to ensure these two men were apprehended.
"Thankfully crimes of this violent nature are not a common occurrence and this was a great example of the positive relationship we have with the public who provided important information which assisted our enquiries.
"Hopefully they will take comfort from this sentencing today.”
