A GANG robbed an 86-year-old man in his own home in the city's Darnley.

The heartless trio targeted the man at the property in Waukglen Drive on Sunday at around 4.25 pm. 

Police say the victim was at home when three men forced entry and threatened him, then left with items including jewellery.

He was uninjured but very badly shaken as a result of the robbery.

The three suspects are described as white and aged between 20 to 30 years. One was wearing a light blue shirt with cream coloured trousers. The second man was wearing a white hooded top and dark coloured trousers. The third man was dressed in dark-coloured clothing.

They drove off in a white car.

Detective Constable Kris Elliott said: “Targeting an 86 year-old man and making him feel vulnerable in his own home is despicable.

“Our enquiries are continuing to identify and trace the three men involved and anyone with any information that will assist our investigation should contact the Community Investigation Unit at Govan through 101 quoting reference 2532 of 23 May.

"Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
