Almond Park Neighbourhood Watch

We are appealing for information following a number of break-ins in the Musselburgh and Prestonpans areas.

Between 7 and 27 of September, 2024 we received reports of retail and business premises being broken into, damage caused and items stolen.

Following enquiries, these incidents are being treated as potentially linked.

Investigations remain ongoing and officers are appealing for witnesses.

Community Policing Sergeant Dougie Wardell said: “We’ve carried out extensive CCTV enquiries into a number of reported break-ins and are considering whether these may be linked.

“I’d ask for the public’s help in identifying those responsible. Have you seen anyone or vehicles acting suspiciously around premises in the area? Do you have private CCTV, doorbell cameras or dashcams which may have captured something?

“I urge anyone with information to please contact Police Scotland on 101. Alternatively, information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
