Police have released CCTV images of a man they wish to trace following a number of incidents which took place in the early hours of Sunday 13 August 2017 at properties in the Nether Currie Crescent area.
During this time two properties were broken into and a number of personal items were stolen. A stolen bankcard was then subsequently used to make fraudulent transactions later that morning.
A further third property had a garden gate vandalised.
Officers are eager to trace a man who they believe may be able to assist with their investigations.

Constable Euan Chancellor of Oxgangs Police Station said: “These incidents have been highly distressing for the victims and we’re eager to trace the man pictured. I would urge anyone who may recognise him to get in touch with us as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1384 of 13 August 2017, or report this anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
