Police hunting thugs who forced their way into a 76-year-old woman’s home and robbed her of more than £10,000 worth of cash and jewellery have issued an e-fit of one of the suspects.
Two people targeted pensioner Catherine Davies’ home at Balado, near Kinross, on June 17, threatening her with a screwdriver.
Detective Inspector Paul Riley said: “The e-fit shows an image of a man, who is further described as being in his 20s, of thin build, with brown eyes, with short brown hair and a ‘goatee’ type beard.
“At the time of the incident he was wearing a blue hooded top and blue jeans.
“We are also keen to trace a second man in connection with the incident, who is described as being a man around 18 years of age with a tanned complexion, who was wearing a grey/blue hooded top.
“I am also keen to trace any persons who were passing through the area on the A977 between 1pm and 2pm, on Wednesday 17th June in a vehicle that is fitted with a CCTV system that may have recorded the surrounding areas.”
During the terrifying ordeal, one of the intruders brandished a screwdriver and ordered the retired nurse to stay in her living room, while the second man ransacked her bedroom upstairs.
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
