Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses following a housebreaking in the Duddingston area of the Capital. The incident happened at an address in Milton Road East yesterday afternoon (Thursday, June 20).
A number of items of jewellery were stolen during the incident, which happened around 4.30pm
A number 44 LRT bus bound for Tranent was travelling past the property as the three suspects made their escape from the address, running through the Milton Road graveyard and towards the city centre. The three men are described, white, and in their twenties.
Detective Constable Elaine McKenna said: “We believe that a number of passengers commented on the unusual sight of the trio running through the graveyard, and we would be keen to speak to those passengers who noticed them there.
“Likewise we want to speak to anyone who was in the area of Milton Road East or the nearby graveyard around 4.30pm yesterday, who may also have noticed the suspects.
“Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101, or make an anonymous report through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
