A ‘LARGE amount’ of partridges have been reported stolen last Friday from a home in East Fortune.

After spotting a suspicious vehicle on their private CCTV, the residents of the house checked the sheds where the birds lived and found a lot to be missing, and a few of them to have died, apparently from shock.

The vehicle has been described by police as a 4x4 style car, similar to a Mitsubishi L200.

Anyone with any information about the incident should call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0599 of April 26.

Information can also be passed to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
