Police launched an investigation after a lorry crashed into the home last month.
Four men have been arrested and charged in connection with an incident that saw a lorry crash into a house near Portobello.
The vehicle crashed into the property on Brand Drive on Tuesday, May 26.
No-one was injured in the incident.
After police launched an investigation, officers executed arrest warrants across East Ayrshire on Thursday morning (June 18).
A total of six properties were searched in Kilmarnock and Darvel.
Four men, aged 24, 31, 39, and 41, were arrested and charged in connection with culpable and reckless conduct. Items were also seized from properties during the raids.
The four men are due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday, June 19.
Detective Inspector Gavin Howat said: “Criminality affects the lives of local people on a daily basis.
“Operations such as these disrupt criminal activity as well as addressing the concerns raised by local people.
“I would like to reassure everyone that we will continue with our proactive, preventative approach to tackle crime and its associated impact.”
