Masked raiders made off sporting equipment including a number of mountain bikes and golf clubs worth more than £5,000 in a double attack on properties in East Lothian.
The unidentified trio are thought to have ‘cased’ a cycle shop on Musselburgh’s North High Street before breaking into the premises and plundering the stock during the overnight raid.
Local police believe the theft may be connected to a second incident in the region that saw a home and garage in Aberlady targeted and a top-of-the-range bike and golfing paraphernalia stolen.
