Both men involved in this crime were seen to be wearing high-visibility vests which had writing on the back. A small white van, possibly with 09 on the registration plate, was used by them.

Sergeant Craig Heron of Grangemouth Police Office said: “This is a despicable crime where a vulnerable person has been targeted. Rest assured that we will do everything possible to identify and apprehend those responsible.

“I would ask that members of the public remain vigilant to this type of crime and keep an eye out for elderly or vulnerable neighbours. Call the police if you have any concerns or suspicions.”
