Police Scotland detectives are appealing for any information. There is limited information on the three suspects – they are male and white.
Enquiries carried out so far have revealed that an Audi car was seen in the area around the time of the incident.
Officers have been carrying out door-to-door enquiries and are in the process of obtaining CCTV footage for any additional information.
Detective Inspector Clark Hill said: “This has been a very frightening experience for an elderly lady in her own home. She has sustained an injury in the incident and has lost items of jewellery which are extremely precious to her. I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident to think back and consider if they saw anything which seemed a little suspicious. Did you see the Audi car, did you notice three men hanging around the area? Any small piece of information could prove vital and help us identify the men responsible for this despicable crime.”
He continued: “Additional officers will be patrolling the area for reassurance and anyone with any information or concerns can approach these officers.”
