Police in West Lothian are appealing for information following a theft by housebreaking last month.

The incident occurred between Thursday, March 24 and Sunday, March 27, at a property on Avontoun Park, Linlithgow, and now, officers are also warning locals to make sure their homes are safe and secure.

The property was broken into and a quantity of jewellery was stolen, with officers now appealing to members of the public who may have seen or heard anything suspicious in the area at this time.

Detective Constable Robert Gilmour, of Livingston CID, said: "Enquiries into the incident are ongoing and I would urge anyone who has information or who may live in the area and heard or saw anything suspicious to contact police immediately.

"Likewise, if anyone was in the area and has dash-cam footage, CCTV or doorbell cameras I would encourage you to check your footage for anything of relevance.

"Although the property was secure, I would also like to take this opportunity to remind homeowners to review their security - make sure to keep your doors and windows locked at all times."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 2303 of 27 March, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
