POLICE are appealing for witnesses to the vandal who smashed an elderly woman’s window at her Drumchapel home last week. 

The incident took place at Heathcot Avenue in Drumchapel on Friday, January 12 at 4.35pm.

After breaking the 87-year-old woman’s window, police believe that the culprit ran towards the nearby swimming pool at Drumry Road.‎

“If anyone has seen anything or anyone looking suspicious around this time please contact Drumchapel police.”

“Enquiries are continuing and anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
