Both suspects ran off and turned into Stock Street.
Officers are checking CCTV footage from in and around the area for any additional information.

There would also have been plenty of people out last night with the warm weather and I am asking them to think back and consider if they noticed this man and woman, maybe you noticed them loitering in Neilston Road. If you have any information, no matter how small, please do pass it on.”
