Sneak thieves rob pensioner

AN ELDERLY man has had a five-figure sum of cash stolen by a trio of thieves who sneaked into his flat while he was gardening.

The victim was in his front garden on Saturday when he saw a man enter the common stair of his block of flats in Gracemount Avenue, followed by another two men.

When the victim checked his flat, which was unlocked, he found the money was gone.

The three men are also being linked to a bogus caller incident in Ravenswood Avenue, at around 4:30pm that afternoon.
