Police recover stolen jewellery thanks to website
The goods are linked to housebreakings from across the city in recent months, and detectives are following a positive line of inquiry to identify other individuals believed to be involved. A 24-year-old was due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday to face charges of theft and reset in connection with the incidents.
Detective Inspector George Thomson said: “Our inquiries into the use of the Borro.com site by criminals resulted in the recovery of a large quantity of high-value jewellery, which we will now return to their rightful owners.
“The Borro.com team were immensely helpful. I would like to thank them.”
