Two vehicles have been listed as of interest to the investigation – a green Citreon C3, which was seen in the area between noon-6pm on Monday, and a blue Audi A4 estate.
The Audi was spotted on the A833 Milton to Balchraggan road and the A862 Inverness to Ardullie road between 7pm and 8pm on Monday evening.
It was also spotted in the area of Aird Road in Beauly on the same night.
Detective Inspector Craig Still said: “This was a shocking and unusual incident for this area and an extensive police investigation is currently ongoing.
“The household involved were physically uninjured but were extremely shaken by this distressing incident.
“Our inquiries to establish the full circumstances are ongoing but it appears this was targeted and there is no wider risk to the community.
“I would urge anyone who may have information to come forward – particularly if you believe you have seen either a green Citroen C3 or blue Audi A4 estate operating in the area or if you have seen any individuals acting suspiciously.
“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have private CCTV or dashcam footage around the Kiltarlity area to get in touch.”
