Cops hunt car in robbery case

Police investigating an assault and robbery at a house in Stirling are looking to trace a car which was in the area at the time.

Officers are appealing for information in order to trace a blue Audi hatchback following the incident in Claymore Drive on Wednesday February 7.

At around 7pm, four men entered the address and took a quantity of cash and jewellery.

A 63-year-old woman sustained an injury to her hand and was treated at the scene by the Scottish Ambulance Service. A 77-year-old man was uninjured. A blue Audi hatchback, similar to an A3 or S3 model, was seen to be parked in Claymore Drive around the time of the robbery and officers are eager to establish who was driving the vehicle.

Detective Inspector Kenny McAndrew of Stirling CID said:“This robbery was a frightening ordeal for the man and woman whose home was invaded.

“A blue Audi hatchback was seen in the Claymore Drive and Caltrop Place area around the time of the robbery and we are keen to identify the driver.

“I would ask anyone who may have seen this vehicle around 7pm on Wednesday, February 7, in the Claymore Drive and Caltrop Place area to come forward. I would also appeal to the owner of the car to contact us so we can eliminate them from our inquiries.

“I would also encourage anyone who did see a group of four men in the area at the time of this attack to get in touch with us at their earliest convenience.”

Anyone with information is being asked to contact Stirling CID by calling the non–emergency 101 number and quoting the incident number 3352 of February 7, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 101.
