The incident took place at a property in Claremont Court, Edinburgh around 10.50pm on Tuesday September 28.
The victims, both in their sixties, were approached and threatened by three males, who arrived and left on a motorcycle.
The first is thought to be of Asian appearance with a Scottish accent, around 6ft tall, of a medium build and clean shaven.
He had been wearing dark clothing and possibly a hat at the time during the attempted robbery, according to Police Scotland.
