He will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday, November 17.

Detective Inspector Grant Johnston of Gayfield CID said: “The prevention and detection of housebreaking is a priority for us across the city.

“Break ins to business premises not only result in thefts, they also deprive the business owner of their livelihood. We will continue to commit significant resources to investigate these crimes.”
