TWO break-ins, believed to be linked, are being investigated by Scottish Borders Police.

Police are appealing for information after the two incidents in Duns and Coldingham.

On Sunday, September 25 at around 11.45pm a garage at the Station Road industrial estate in Duns was broken into and a silver Volkswagen Transporter campervan, registration GE19 DMY, and a black Volkswagen CC, registration GU52 HAZ, were taken.

Then at around 1am yesterday (Monday, September 26) a safe containing a five-figure sum of money was stolen from the Post Office on Bridge Street, Coldingham.

The vehicles have since been recovered.

The campervan was found at the Newfields Housing estate in Berwick-Upon-Tweed yesterday (Monday) and the CC was found in the Craigmillar area of Edinburgh on the same day.

Detective Constable Alexander Blacklock, of Galashiels CID, said: “We are treating the theft of these vehicles and the break-in at the Post Office as linked and are keen to speak to anyone who can help with our ongoing enquiries.

“We would like to speak to anyone who saw these vehicles between the time they were stolen and the time they were found, particularly if you have dash-cam or private CCTV footage that could assist officers.

“In addition, anyone who saw anything suspicious in and around the garage in Duns or the Post Office in Coldingham, is also asked to get in touch.”
