Thieves try to steal safe from West Lothian Post Office

A police investigation is underway after two men broke into the Dechmont Post Office in West Lothian at 1.25am on Thursday morning and tried unsuccessfully to steal a safe.

The two men got out of a blue BMW driven by a third man and are described as wearing jackets, tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

Detective Constable Kenny Alexander said: “At this time we do not have a detailed description of the suspects, but know that they were in a relatively new model blue BMW, and so we would urge anyone who has seen this vehicle and its occupants to contact police immediately.

“In addition, anyone with any further information relating to this break-in should also get in touch.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101.
