JEWELLERY and a car have been stolen during a "high-value" housebreaking in Gullane.

Police are investigating after the incident, which took place in the early hours of last Monday morning (February 11) at Muirfield Station.

A quantity of jewellery and a blue Peugeot 107, which had two flat tyres, were stolen at about 1am.

The car was later recovered at nearby Hall Crescent, Gullane, on Saturday.

Police Constable John Lumsden, of East Lothian’s Community Investigation Unit, said: “This is a high-value theft and we are eager to trace those responsible as soon as possible.

“The vehicle that was taken had two flat tyres and would have been extremely noisy when driven away.

“I would ask anyone who remembers hearing a sound like metal scraping along tarmac in the early hours of Monday, February 11, to get in touch with us at their earliest convenience.”
