MORE than £1,000 was stolen after a thief broke into a Borders house through the bathroom window.
Between 5pm and 7.15pm on Sunday a property in Kelso's Broomlands Court was entered.
The thief searched the house before stealing the four-figure sum of cash.
Police Scotland are appealing for witnesses.
Detective constable Bruce Dodds from the Community Investigation Unit in Galashiels said: “We are eager to hear from anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious behaviour in the Broomlands area on Sunday evening.
“We are conducting a robust investigation to trace those responsible and I would remind homeowners to ensure their property is secure, especially during the hours of darkness.
“I would ask that anyone who knows who is responsible or who saw anyone acting suspiciously to contact police as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Community Investigation Unit in Galashiels via 101 and quote incident number 3510 of November 12.
