Thieves targeted an address in Scott Street sometime between 8am and 4pm yesterday (Wednesday, May 3rd).
Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
Detective Constable Joe Carmichael, from Police Scotland, said: “This is quite a busy road and is a route to the local swimming pool, so it’s possible someone may have seen, or captured on dash-cam, people acting suspiciously or hanging about Scott Street and Livingstone Place.
“If you have any information you think may assist police with their investigation, then please get in touch.”
