A hooded knife gang robbed a man of his high-value mountain bike near Bishopbriggs.
The victim, 42, was cycling along the canal path near to Balmuildy Road around 8pm on Saturday when three men blocked the pathway.
One of the men pulled out a knife and threatened the man, demanding his black Specialized Stumpjumper Mountain Bike.
The suspects, who spoke with local accents and were wearing dark hooded tops with scarfs covering their faces, then made off with the bike towards the Possil Marsh area.
Police are hunting for the 'despicable individuals' responsible for the robbery. They say the victim has been left 'distressed' by the incident.
Detective Constable Mark Milroy from the Community Investigation Unit based at Govan said: “Thankfully the victim was not hurt during the robbery, but it was still a very distressing experience, and it is vital we trace the despicable individuals responsible.
“I would appeal to anyone who was on the canal path around 8pm on Saturday night, and witnessed what happened or noticed three men in possession of a mountain bike, to please get in touch.
“Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland through 101, quoting incident number 0864 of Sunday, 11 April, 2021. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
