Nov 18 2009

A couple have been subjected to a terrifying assault by masked intruders who burst into their home and tied them up.

Detectives in Perthshire are investigating the motive for the attack, which took place at their home on the premises of a car salvage company in Dalcrue near Pitcairngreen.

At one stage in the hour-long ordeal the 57-year-old man was taken from his house and thrown down an embankment into the River Almond.
