A hooded thug attacked a 70-year-old man in his own home.
The callous yob then robbed the elderly victim of a three-figure sum of cash and personal possessions.
The attack happened at around 3pm on Thursday, January 16, in the Meiklehill Avenue area of Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire.
The suspect is described as white, 5ft 7ins, of medium build and aged about 40. He was wearing a green and white waterproof jacket with the hood up, glasses and dark jogging trousers.
Police Constable Emma Laurie, of the Greater Glasgow Robbery Unit, said: “Although this gentleman sustained minor injuries, it was a very frightening experience for him and we want to speak to anyone who may have seen something both before and after the robbery.
“I would urge anyone with information to get in touch with us immediately. Also, if you recognise the description of the man then please call us.”
