Hunt for two men after attempted car robbery in Denny

Police are hunting two men after an attempted car robbery in Denny.

A man was targeted by the pair who demanded he hand over his car keys in a car park in the Kirkslap area of the town at around 7.15pm on Sunday December 22.

He refused and the two men returned to their vehicles, described as a white Vauxhall Mokka and a blue Vauxhall Corsa, and made off.

The men are believed to have gone on the M876 towards Grangemouth and Alloa. One of the men spoke in a Scottish accent and the other in a Liverpudlian accent.

Officers believe it is connected to an assault and robbery of a man in his own home in the area.

Police said four men wearing balaclavas attacked the 26-year-old’s property and attacked him, leaving with a silver TAG Heuer watch worth around £800.

Detective Gavin McLuskey said: “We believe this incident is related to a theft in Denny later that night. Our enquiries are ongoing to trace these men and we are asking anyone who saw them before or after this incident to get in touch.

“We are also asking people in the area to check their private CCTV or dash cams to see if they have captured anything that could help with our investigation.”

Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 2851 of Sunday, 22 December, 2024.
