Man, 38, charged over Edinburgh break-in spree
He's due to appear in court
A 38-year-old man has been arrested and charged after a spate of break-ins across Edinburgh.
Police say seven businesses - including cafes, fast food outlets, a hairdresser, and a library -were targeted between 30 January and 5 March, with cash and registers stolen.
The suspect is due at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
Detective Sergeant Derek Schulz said: "Whenever someone’s business is broken into the impact is considerable, leaving people feeling unsafe and at a considerable cost to the business. It also has an impact on the local community.
“Anyone with information about this kind of crime should call Police Scotland on 101, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
