A Bellshill woman answered the door of her Garfield Avenue home on Friday night to be confronted by a black-clad thug wearing a balaclava who threatened her with a gun.

He barged his way into the house and began a shouting at the woman (58) and her 60-year-old husband - then the couple’s daughter (29) and her partner (30), came downstairs to assist.

Two children were asleep upstairs, but nobody was injured in the mystery raid.

The thug fled, and the alarm was raised - leaving detectives to find why the “reckless” gunman had staged his raid.
