HEARTLESS thugs broke into a pensioner's home, threatened him and stole cash.
Three men, described as wearing dark clothing, entered the home in Waukglen Crescent in Darnley, at 8.45pm on January 31.
It is believed they threatened him with a weapon before rummaging through the contents of the house and leaving with a sum of money.
Police say there is no value for the amount of cash taken at this time. An investigation is ongoing.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 8.45pm on Monday, January 31, 2022, police were called after three men, only described as wearing dark clothing, entered a home in Waukglen Crescent, Darnley, where one of them threatened an occupant before all three left with a quantity of cash. Enquiries into the incident are continuing."
A day later, two men wearing face masks were seen at the rear of a property in Woodfoot Quadrant in nearby South Nitshill.
They were disturbed and left the area.
