Sergeant Michele Lindsay from Penicuik Police Station said: “Crimes of this nature remain a priority for officers in Midlothian and local communities can be reassured that we will do everything possible to trace those involved.

“Thieves are opportunistic by nature by ensuring windows and doors are properly secured before you leave the property or at night can help safeguard your home, outbuildings and business premises.
