A Glasgow woman is threatened and robbed in her own home by three masked men

A woman was left “extremely shaken” after three men broke into her home and robbed her in broad daylight.

The 42-year-old was at her home on Lochview Gate in the Hoganfield area around 6.15pm on Friday when the horrific incident took place.

Three men, dressed in dark clothes with covered faces, stormed the property and threatened the woman before fleeing with money and jewelry.

They are believed to have fled on foot and passed through Ridry Park Cemetery.

Police are urging anyone who may have seen the men – especially in a nearby cemetery – to come forward.
