Robbers hold pregnant woman and her partner at knifepoint in their Edinburgh home
Police say the 45-minute ordeal left the couple 'extremely shaken'
A pregnant woman and her partner have been subjected to a 45-minute knifepoint robbery in their Edinburgh home.
They weren't physically hurt but police say they've been left extremely shaken after the ordeal in Milligan Drive at around 9:30pm on Monday (12 Feb).
A 39-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were within their home when two men burst in armed with knives.
They then ransacked the house, taking jewellery, electronic equipment and cash before making off in a small silver hatchback car, believed to have been a Vauxhall Corsa.
The first suspect is described as white, around 6ft tall with a pale complexion, light green eyes, a diagonal cut down the right side of his nose.
He was wearing a black baseball cap, aqua/emerald green long-sleeved top, black gillet with the hood up, dark tracksuit bottoms, black and grey trainers with no socks, black gloves and a black garment over the lower half of his face. He also had a scab on the inside right ankle bone and spoke with a Scottish accent.
The second man is white, between 5ft 7ins and 5ft 10ins tall with a stocky build and wearing a light cream or grey hooded top with the hood up pulled tight to the face, dark, khaki green tracksuit bottoms or cargo trousers, a dark grey baseball cap with a rounded peak, a dark garment over his face and gloves. He spoke with an English accent, possibly from the London area.
Detective Inspector Graham Grant from Corstorphine CID said: "The victims were left extremely shaken by this terrifying ordeal, though, thankfully, neither were injured.
"As part of our ongoing inquiries we are looking to establish if this robbery is linked to the incident in Dolphin Drive during the early hours of Sunday morning.
"The female victim is heavily pregnant and has been robbed in her own home by two males armed with weapons.
"Despite the distressing nature of this incident, the man and woman have provided detailed descriptions of the suspects and I would appeal to the public to consider these descriptions and contact us immediately if you know who either of these men are.
"Also if you witnessed any suspicious activity around Milligan Drive on Monday evening, or have any other information relevant to our investigation then please contact police immediately.
