A 50-year-old has been left terrified after four thugs forced their way into her home and hit her with a weapon after demanding cash.
The horrified victim is thought to be a mistaken target in the sick attack in Bishopbriggs on Thursday September 30.
Around 8.45pm four men with scarfs covering their faces forced entry to the woman's property in Cedar Road, threatened her and demanded cash.
One of the men then hit the woman on the hand with a weapon before they all fled the property with a two-figure sum of money.
Luckily the woman did not require hospital treatment.
The four suspects are described as between 30 and 40 years old and wearing face coverings.
One of them is further described as having spiky red/brown hair.
Extensive enquiries are currently ongoing to trace the 'deplorable' thugs involved in the attack and officers are urging anyone with information to get in touch.
Constable David Russell, from the Community Investigation Unit based at Govan, said: “This was a terrifying experience for the victim, who is not believed to have been the intended target, and extensive enquiries have been ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
“It is vital we trace the despicable individuals involved and I am appealing to anyone who may be able to assist with the investigation to come forward.
“In particular I would like to speak to anyone who was in the area on Thursday evening, and saw anything suspicious, as well as any motorists with dash-cams who were driving through at the time.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland through 101, quoting incident number 3276 of Thursday, 30 September, 2021.
"Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
