Following recent enquiries, police have discovered that the person or people responsible got into a beige or gold coloured Nissan Note car, with the registration of the car being GF60 XZH, although it is possible that the plate has been changed since.
The same Nissan Note was stolen from the Davidson Mains area of Edinburgh last month and officers are appealing to anyone who may have seen it to contact them.
Door-to-door enquiries are being carried out and officers are gathering and reviewing relevant CCTV footage for any further information on the suspect(s) and the Nissan Note.
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."
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3026 of 7 February, 2022. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where you can give information anonymously.
