A second identical incident happened at another house in Orbison Place at around 12.45am in the early hours of this morning.
The homeowners have been left “shocked” but no-one was injured as a result of these actions.
Detective Sergeant Barry Convery of CID said: “It is fortunate that no one was hurt following this mindless behaviour.
“The homeowners were extremely shocked and those responsible should consider the impact this has on others.
“We are treating both these incidents as linked.
“We are asking anyone with any information to come forward as soon as possible in order to assist with our ongoing enquiries.”
Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0189 of Sunday, May 19, 2024, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
