A second male was wearing dark clothing.

Detective Sergeant Christopher Dow, of Dunfermline CID, said, “Fortunately no-one was injured in this incident but it was a very frightening experience for those involved and we are eager to trace these men.

“Those responsible may also have been in the area of Furnace Place in Lumphinnans in the early hours of Friday morning and we are appealing for anyone who saw anything suspicious to get in touch immediately.

“In particular we would urge anyone who may have seen an unknown vehicle in the Andrew Street area or Lumphinnans, or who may have CCTV or dash-cam footage, to call us.”
