A man has been arrested following a series of thefts from homes in Penicuik.
The incidents happened at four properties in the town between 7th and 15th May, and two cars were also stolen. There was a further housebreaking with intent and three incidents of suspicious behaviour outside homes which were all investigated by the Community Investigation Unit at Musselburgh.
Inquiries were carried out and a warrant was executed at an address in Bilston, and stolen property was recovered.
A 41 year old man was due before Edinburgh Sheriff Court today.
Sergeant Michele Lindsay of Penicuik Police Station said: “I would like to thank the public for their assistance, after speaking to the local community we received information which allowed us to carry out the warrant and ultimately bring charges. I would also like to remind people to keep their property secure at all times, and anyone seeing or hearing anything suspicious should call police immediately
