Police appeal after men in balaclavas force way into man's home and try to rob him

Detectives are appealing for information after a man was assaulted in Bellshill on Tuesday, May 13.

Around 12.50am, a 39-year-old man made his way home from work.

Shortly after arriving home, two armed suspects attended his home and forced entry, demanding money.

Both men struggled with the home owner and eventually made off, empty-handed.

The man did not require any medical attention.

One of the suspects is described as being around 5ft 9ins in height and the second as 5ft 11ins. Both were wearing dark clothing and a balaclava.

Detective Constable Graeme Stoddart of Wishaw CID said: “The man was not injured but was left shaken as a result of this incident.

“We are appealing for anyone who may have seen or heard anything around the time to get in touch.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting incident 0120 of 13 May.
