Police in West Lothian are investigating a second jewellery robbery in Bathgate in the space of two days last week.

Thieves raided a home in Leyland Road between Wednesday and Friday.

Jewellery with a value of around £3,000 was taken, including a pearl necklace, a marque cut silver ring, a halo cut silver ring, an Armani rose gold watch, a volcanic gem stone bracelet with matching earrings, a gold wedding band with initials, and a gold diamond and emerald ring.

A similar break-in on Meikle Inch Lane on Thursday, where jewellery was also taken is being treated as linked.

Detective Constable Graeme Comrie, said: “Extensive enquiries are ongoing to find those responsible and we are asking anyone who saw anything suspicious to get in touch.

“We are also asking people in the area to check private CCTV and dash-cam to see if they have captured any activity that could help us with our investigation.”

Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 4114 of Friday, 22 November, 2024, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
