Two men have appeared in court in Edinburgh following inquiries by police in the capital in relation to Operation RAC.
Steven Graham, aged 23, and 26 -year-old Alan Elder appeared from custody at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday after they were charged with two theft by house-breaking, one attempted house breaking with intent, one count of shoplifting and a number of road traffic offences.
The alleged house-breakings relate to incidents in Bleachfield, Edinburgh and Murrayfield Gardens and property to the value of £50,000 has been recovered.
Operation RAC was launched in December to tackle housebreaking in many communities throughout the country where the issue was identified as a local priority.
A number of arrests have already been made within Edinburgh and officers continue to pursue offenders throughout the region.
