A man is in hospital after he was attacked during a robbery while at home with his wife.
The 78-year-old and his wife, aged 77, were at their home in Irongray Road, Dumfries when a gang of three targeted the property on Sunday evening.
They made off with £60,000 worth of jewellery and money.
Police said the man was taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary with significant injuries. He is in a stable condition.
It's believed two men and a woman were involved in the robbery between 8pm and 9.30pm.
Detective Inspector Dean Little said: "A team of detectives are now working on the case with a view of catching those responsible.
"We are asking anyone who lives or was in the area of Irongray Road or the surrounding area to get in touch with us if they saw any of the people described.
"Likewise we would be keen to hear about any strange vehicles which might have been seen entering or leaving, or even parked up in the area of Irongray Road or surrounding streets on Sunday night.
"I would be particularly keen to speak to anyone who travelled along Irongray Road or Newton Road between 8pm - 10pm and has dashcam footage."
The first man is described as around 6ft 1in, of average build and wore dark clothing.
The second man was 5ft 9in, of slim build and was also dressed in dark clothes.
Both men spoke with northern English accents.
The woman was around 40, about 5ft 2in, of larger build, with pale white skin, dark brown shoulder-length hair and a local accent.
