Police in the Scottish Borders have arrested and charged a man and a woman following high-value thefts from the Jedburgh and Melrose areas over the last week.
The 37-year-old man and 24-year-old woman were found to be in possession of £40,000 worth of goods, including a four wheel drive stolen from a property in Jedburgh. The man and woman appeared at Livingston Sheriff Court today.
Detective Superintendent Pat Campbell said: “This is a great result following extensive enquiries, and demonstrates that Police Scotland will not tolerate this kind of criminal behaviour.
“Anyone who notices any suspicious behaviour in their area is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. I would like to advice people to ensure their property is secure and that items within cars are removed from view. You can also visit the Police Scotland website for further crime prevention advice.”
