Police are appealing for witnesses following a break-in and theft in Linlithgow which took place around 9.25pm last night at a store in the Mill Road Industrial Estate.
After entry was forced to the premises large quantities of sports clothing were stolen.
It is believed the culprits thereafter made off towards the units adjacent to the M9 and may have had a vehicle waiting nearby.
Staff are currently doing a full inventory to establish the total value of the stolen goods and officers are urging anyone who can assist with their inquiries to come forward.
Detective Constable Grant Ross from Livingston CID said: “As part of our inquiries we are looking at CCTV from all relevant business premises at the industrial estate to help identify the suspects, but anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything suspicious should contact police immediately.
“In addition, we’d also ask any motorists who were on the M9 on Monday evening and may have seen a car parked up near the industrial estate.
“If you believe you have any information relevant to this investigation then please get in touch.”
Those with information can contact Livingston CID via 101 and quote incident number 3950 of the 29th August. Alternatively, an anonymous report can be made to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
