A pensioner has been left 'badly shaken' after a man followed her into her home in Cathcart and demanded money.
The man - described as being approximately 45 years old - fled after realising there was someone else in the house on Struan Road. He was last seen heading towards neighbouring Kildary Road.
Thankfully, the woman in her eighties was left unhurt, as police launch an appeal for information.
