Man injured in violent robbery in Aberdeenshire town
Four armed men forced their way into a house in Alford
A man's been injured in a violent robbery at a house in Alford.
Between 00.30 and 00.40 am on Tuesday morning four men with weapons forced their way into an address on Littlewood Place, where they threatened the occupiers before running off with personal items.
A 30-year-old man was injured during the raid. He was taken by ambulance to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment.
The only description of the robbers is they were wearing dark clothing.
Detective Constable Ewan Simpson, North East CID, said:
"Due to fact that Alford is quite rural, we believe the suspects may have used a vehicle to get to the house.
"We have yet to establish why this particular home was targeted. Officers have been carrying out door-to-door enquiries and checking CCTV but would appeal to anyone who has not yet spoken to police or who has any information that will assist the investigation to come forward."
