The intruder threatened the couple with the knife and demanded money, however they began shouting and screaming, which caused him to flee empty handed.

He is pictured wearing a black tracksuit with a black baseball cap and carrying a black rucksack.

Anyone with information should call Wishaw CID via 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
