Pensioner, 81, victim of sex assault at home

A pensioner has been sexually assaulted by a man who tried to force his way into her home in East Dunbartonshire.

The 81-year-old victim stopped him getting into her house in Clathic Avenue, Bearsden, after he pretended to carry out a survey about 7:35pm on Monday.

He then sexually assaulted her and exposed himself.

Police Scotland are pursuing reports of a similarly described man who was acting aggressively and also trying to force his way into another elderly woman’s property nearby.
