A second high-value house raid has taken place in Ayrshire.
Police say jewellery worth five-figures was pinched from a home in Troon days after a similar high-end raid took place in the town.
Some time between Friday, July 15 and Wednesday, July 20, a house in Sarazen Drive was raided.
The latest raid may well have taken place at a similar time to a housebreaking incident in Southwood Road some time between Southwood Road, which occurred between 2.15pm on Friday and 6.45pm on Sunday.
Police have admitted that they can't rule out the possibility that the two incidents are linked.
They do believe that they know what the thieves are on the hunt for.
Detective sergeant Craig Gilmour, South Ayrshire CID, said: “Our enquiries are ongoing at the moment and whilst at this time we cannot confirm this housebreaking and the one on Southwood Road recently are linked, we also cannot rule that possibility out as the circumstances are very similar.
"Again on this occasion, the thieves have broken into the house whilst the owners were away. We believe that the suspects know what they are looking for and it appears that valuable jewellery is what they want.
“I am again appealing to anyone, particularly drivers with dash-cam footage, who were in the area of Sarazen Drive or Bentinck Crescent over these days who may have seen any suspicious activity to get in touch with police.
"Please call officers via 101 quoting reference number 1717 of Wednesday, July 20, 2022 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
"High visibility officers are patrolling the area and we would encourage anyone with concerns to speak to them or contact their local Community Policing Officer. We also have home security guidance on the Police Scotland website - https://www.scotland.police.uk/advice-and-information/your-home/your-house/."
