Police are appealing for information following a housebreaking at a property on Station Avenue Haddington which took place between 11.30pm on Wednesday 5th and 11am on Thursday 6th July.
A safe containing a large amount of cash and watches, jewellery, fishing equipment and a Mercedes car were stolen.
The safe was later recovered on a track off the A199 between Haddington and Macmerry, with some of its contents also recovered.
The Mercedes was also recovered, having been abandoned in The Orchard in Tranent at around 5.30am yesterday.
Constable Gordon Martin of the Community Investigation Unit said: “This was a brazen theft and those responsible have then driven around East Lothian in the stolen car so I’m keen to speak to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious or that may be related.
“The Mercedes is a silver C220 and I want to establish where it went between leaving the scene of the housebreaking and being abandoned. There is a substantial quantity of jewellery and watches still outstanding and anyone who may be offered them for sale should contact police.”
Contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident 1237 of 6th July or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
