A thief in Livingston, West Lothian has targeted two homes in one night which police believe are linked, with the two incidents taking place in the early hours of Saturday June 25.
The first attack was on a home on Elm Grove which involved personal electrical items being nicked as well as the blue Audi sports car which was parked on the drive.
The second incident took place hours later at 4:20am in the Tower Bar on Adelaide Street when the thug smashed a window of the boozer before making off with a four figure cash sum.
