A family were robbed at gunpoint by a gang in their own home in the Highlands.

Three armed men threatened the occupants of a house in Inverness during the raid.

A woman suffered minor injuries in the incident. The robbers made off with a sum of cash.

On Thursday, Police Scotland issued descriptions of the three armed raiders.

Detective Inspector Maggie Miller said: "We are continuing our enquiries and would ask that anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything unusual or suspicious contact us as soon as possible."

The armed robbery occurred at the family home in the city's Oldtown Road around 9.30pm on Saturday.

One of the men was 6ft 7in tall and very slim. A second was 5ft 8in tall with an athletic build, and the third was between 5ft 6in and 5ft 8in tall with a large build and a beard.

They were all wearing dark trousers and dark blue fleeces, police said.
