Robbers raid home of pregnant woman

- By ANGUS HOWARTH

A heavily pregnant woman was the victim of a “terrifying” armed robbery at her home in Edinburgh.

Two masked men carrying knives entered an address in Milligan Drive on Monday evening when the 29-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man were at home.

They stole jewellery, elec- tronic equipment and cash before making off in a small silver hatchback car, believed to be a Vauxhall Corsa.

The first suspect is described as white, around 6ft tall with a pale complexion, light green eyes, and a diagonal cut down the right side of his nose. He wore a black baseball cap, an aqua or emerald green top, a black gilet with the hood up, dark tracksuit bottoms, black and grey trainers with no socks and a black garment over the lower half of his face.

He had a scab on the inside right ankle bone and spoke with a Scottish accent. The second man is described as white, between 5ft 7ins and 5ft 10ins tall, and was of stocky build. He wore a light cream or grey hooded top, khaki green tracksuit bottoms or cargo trousers, a dark grey baseball cap and a dark garment over his face. He spoke with an English accent.
