A police spokesperson said: "Six men wearing face coverings were seen in the garden of a residential property in Netherhill.

"The men walked to the bottom of the garden before making off in a white Audi and a blue Hyundai.

"Officers investigating the incident are now able to release these CCTV images of the men and the vehicles.

"We know you can’t see their faces but perhaps you recognise the distinctive light-coloured jacket of the man walking at the front of the group?"
