Woman, 73, robbed by man who pushed past her to enter her home

Police are appealing for information after a 73-year-old woman was robbed in her home by a man who pushed his way past her on the doorstep.

The victim answered her door at around 3.15pm on Thursday in Ewing Court, Stirling.

The man at the door pushed his way in and went on to steal a purse containing her bank cards, before fleeing towards Bannockburn Road.

He is described as being white, aged around 40, about 5ft 10in, with short blonde hair.

He wore a distinctive hooded top which was grey/blue on the top and white on the bottom.

Detective Constable Rhianna Christie said: “Although the woman was not injured, this was a very upsetting incident for her and we are keen to trace the man described or speak to anyone who knows who they are.

“In addition, if you have private CCTV or were driving in the area around 3.15pm on Thursday and have dashcam that could assist officers, then please contact us.”

Anyone with information has been asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2805 of September 25.
