Terror for OAP couple

An old couple are recovering after a terror ordeal in their home.

Three men burst in on the couple in an audacious raid last Monday.

Police did not reveal the horrifying incident until three days later.

It happened at 10am when three thugs forced their way into the house in St Phillans Avenue in Ayr’s Forehill.

The three threatened the elderly husband and wife before stealing jewelery and money.

The men then made off in the direction of Forehill Road.

The suspects are in their late teens to mid- 20s and wearing dark clothing and baseball caps.

Chris Rae of Ayr CID said: “This was a terrifying ordeal for an elderly couple who have been left badly shaken by what happened.

“Officers are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen three men matching the above description in the Forehill area around the time of the incident.

“We are also keen to trace a small white car with three men in it, which was seen in St Phillans Avenue prior to the robbery taking place.

“Anyone who may have been driving within St Phillans Avenue area with access to an in car camera should make contact with police.”
