Detectives in East Lothian are appealing for information following the break-in and attempted break-in to two properties in Dunbar, which took place in the early hours of Tuesday, 18 March, 2025.

The first incident is believed to have taken place around 12.25am, when a property was broken into on Randolph Crescent.

The second incident took place around 1am and involved the attempted housebreaking at a property at Bothwell Gardens.

The incidents are being treated as linked and enquiries have established a black BMW X7 was seen in the areas, before leaving Dunbar and heading towards Edinburgh.

Detective Sergeant Steven Stewart said: “We are appealing for anyone with information on these incidents to come forward.

“We are particularly keen to speak with anyone who lives in these areas of Dunbar and may have witnessed anything suspicious, or has potential CCTV or dashcam footage from around the times in question.

“Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting incident 0149 of 18 March. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.”
