“Neither victim was injured, but the couple have been left extremely distressed by the incident.

“The men are described as being olive-skinned and all spoke with local accents.

“One of the men is described as being a tall man in his late 20s, of large build, with a chunky face showing signs of stubble.

“All three men were reportedly wearing black clothing.”
