'Speeding away' | |
Det Insp Malcolm MacLeod, who is leading the investigation, appealed to anyone who may have been in the area at about 0700 GMT on Wednesday to get in touch. | |
He hopes to receive information about three or four people dressed in predominantly dark clothing, possibly wearing dark hats or balaclavas. | |
He added: "At that time of day people would be leaving for their work and it is possible that the assailants had access to a vehicle. | |
"I would therefore ask anyone who, at that time, saw a suspicious vehicle or a vehicle possibly speeding away from the area concerned to contact us. | |
"We are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry and are meantime carrying out a full forensic examination and house-to-house enquiries." | |
Anyone with information can contact Grampian Police on 0845 600 5700 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. |
