Two balaclava-clad thugs threatened to kill a family with two children during a raid on their home.
Patrick Mooney and Patrick Keenan terrorised victims with a baseball bat, a metal pole and spade during the robberies and abductions across Scotland, telling them: "Shut up or I will kill you."
Two children aged eight and 12 were at home with their family when the pair struck, the High Court in Paisley heard.
