Man reported to Procurator Fiscal following break-ins at Edinburgh churches

A 27-year-old man will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal for a series of housebreakings to churches in Edinburgh.

As part of Operation RAC the male was detained on 4th May in connection with a break-in and theft from a home in Cambridge Avenue.

He was subsequently charged with this incident.

Following further enquiry into three housebreakings at Wardie Church, St Columbas Church and St Patrick’s Church, which occurred between 12th and 19th February, the same male will now be subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal.

In addition to these offences, the male is also being reported for a similar incident at a disused church in Lorne Street, where an attempt was made to gain access via the roof on 12th February.
