The men are described as (1) about 40 years old, 5’2″/5’3″ tall, slim build, short dark hair, wearing dark framed glasses, a dark top and denim jeans. Spoke with a Glasgow accent and walked with a limp. (2) again about 40 years old, 5’10” tall, larger build described as stocky with a beer belly, egg shaped head and was almost bald, wearing a dark jumper and dark trousers. He also spoke with a Glasgow accent.

The purse contained about £100 in cash and a number of bank and credit cards. Anyone with any information should give us a call on 101.”
