Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses following a break-in and theft from a property in the Craigmount area of the city.
The incident happened sometime between midnight and 7am on Thursday 5th September at an address in Stuart Green.
A number of electrical goods along with a distinctive Omega diving watch were stolen from inside while the occupant slept. The timepiece is worth around £2,000 and is bright orange.
Officers have been carrying out local enquiries since last week and are now keen to hear from anyone who remembers seeing anything suspicious in the area.
PC Ruth Craig said: “The homeowner was obviously very upset to have had his belongings taken while he was asleep within the property and is keen to have these goods, particularly, the watch returned to him.
“Anyone who comes across this distinctive item is asked to contact police immediately.
“Similarly, anyone with information that can help us locate the stolen property or trace those responsible for this incident is also asked to get in touch.”
Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101 or alternatively, the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
