Cops are urgently trying to trace a man in his fifties after a pensioner was found injured within her home.
An 86-year-old woman was rushed to hospital around 9.30pm on Friday May 28 after family members found her injured at her home on Kirkhill Drive, Luncarty, Perth.
Officers are now trying to trace a man they believe attended her house in the days leading up to her being found hurt as she remains in hospital.
He is described as being a white man, aged in his fifties, with short spiky grey hair and grey stubble.
He was wearing glasses, a black fleece and dark trousers and was carrying a black folder.
Detectives have been conducting enquiries to establish how the pensioner sustained her injuries and are desperately trying to trace anyone who attended her home in the days leading up to Friday May 28.
Detective Inspector Marc Lorente from the Specialist Crime Division said: “A significant amount of enquiry has been carried out since this incident was reported and how the woman came to be injured is still unclear.
“Our enquiries are focusing on people who may have been in the Kirkhill Drive area of Luncarty during the week commencing Monday, 24 May, including the described man.
"The address is at the junction with the main road through Luncarty and we’d ask anyone who noticed any unknown vehicles in the area, at the address or in the vicinity, to get in touch.”
Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote Operation Jackdrop, or incident 2847 of 29 May 2021. Information can be given to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
