Police in Edinburgh are making appeals after a house was broken into earlier this week (Monday February 7th).

The suspects then made their getaway from the Silverknowes Gardens area in a Nissan car that had previously been stolen.

Police received a report around 8pm at a house in the area, they found the rear door had been smashed open, but did not find anyone within the property.

Police enquiries have discovered that the suspects then got into a beige or gold coloured Nissan note car.

The registration of the car is GF60 XZH but it is possible the registration plate has been changed.

The vehicle was stolen from the Davidson Mains area of the city last month, and Police are keen for anyone who has seen the car in the meantime to get in touch.

Door-to-door enquiries are now being carried about by Police.

Detective Sergeant Steven Dick said: “It appears the Nissan Note is being used by the suspect(s) to leave the scene and transport any stolen items. We should all feel protected in our homes, and know that our personal items and objects are safe from thieves.

"I am asking for the public’s help in trying to locate this vehicle. If anyone has seen it or noticed it parked up somewhere then please do get in touch with us. Your information could help us trace whoever is responsible and allow us to return any stolen items to their rightful owners.”
