Men due in court after thousands stolen from Edinburgh and Lothians golf clubs and supermarkets
The burglaries took place between late May and the end of August this year
An investigation into a series of burglaries targeting golf clubs and supermarkets across Scotland, in which thousands of pounds worth of golf clubs and cigarettes, were stolen has led to two men being arrested.
The men, both aged 63, are due to appear at Livingston Sheriff Court today in connection with the break-ins at locations throughout the Central Belt including Uphall and South Queensferry.
The burglaries took place between late May and the end of August this year.
Alongside the stolen golf clubs and cigarettes, Police said the burglaries caused significant damage to the targeted premises which also took place in Falkirk, Cumbernauld, Stirling, Alloa, Whitburn and Dunblane.
Detective Sergeant Kevin Clark of CID said: “Break-ins to businesses can have a significant impact on staff and customers as well as causing financial loss and disruption to those who work hard to run these premises.”
