Six-figure sum stolen in flat raid

Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses after a six-figure sum of jewellery and cash was stolen in a raid on a flat in the Leith area.

A gang broke into the property in Constitution Street before escaping with a large metal safe, containing cash in both pounds and dollars and distinctive pieces of jewellery.

PC David Smith of Edinburgh’s Community Investigation Unit said: “The contents of the safe are believed to be collectively worth a six-figure sum and this is currently being treated as a targeted theft.”
