A man has been charged in connection with robbing a woman after a stranger barged into her home last month.

The 73-year-old answered the door to a man in the Ewing Court area around 3.15pm on Thursday.

The man allegedly pushed past the woman before stealing a purse containing bank cards and cash.

Officers have since arrested and charged a 38-year-old man in connection with the incident. He is due to appear Stirling Sheriff Court on Tuesday.

Detective Sergeant Chris Scott said: “We’d like to thank the community for their assistance with our investigation.”
