At around 5.30pm on 11 September, it is reported that a group of unknown
male suspects were trying to steal fence panels from a property on
Glenholme Road, and were challenged by the man in his 60s and his
21-year-old son. The group left but then are understood to have returned
and assaulted the victims with weapons including bricks and sticks.
The description of the suspects is limited but it is believed they may have
been teenagers. One has been described as younger and shorter than the rest
of the group, another was described as quite tall and appeared to be
wearing grey clothing.
The father and son were taken to hospital to receive treatment for their
injuries.
Investigating officers are keen to hear from anyone living locally who may
have witnessed the assault or who may have CCTV footage.
