Police have warned drivers to not leave their vehicles unattended when leaving them running to defrost — after two cars were stolen in West Lothian.
Officers are appealing for information after a black Volkswagen Passat was taken from a property in Loganlea Road, Addiewell, about 8.20am on Sunday. The vehicle had been left running to defrost the windows. The car was later recovered on the B7015 between West Calder and Stoneyburn.
A second car, a white Vauxhall Corsa, registration SD72 GPZ, was taken from a property on Dick Gardens, Whitburn, around 9.40am on the same day. The man who owned the vehicle was knocked to the ground and struck by the car during the robbery. He was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment.
