MAN IN COURT AFTER HOUSEBREAKINGS AND ASSAULT

A man has been arrested and charged in connection with seven housebreakings and an assault, which occurred in the West Pilton, Kirkliston, Murrayfield and Drylaw areas.

The assault took place in Crewe Place on Tuesday (April 11) and the housebreakings occurred between 8th and 12th April.

The 22-year-old will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today (Saturday 15th April).

Detective Inspector Graham Grant said: “We treat violence and housebreaking as a priority in Edinburgh and will act swiftly to apprehend those responsible.

“If you have witnessed or been the victim of crime in your area, you can report this to police via 101, or can do so confidentially through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
