Two men have been arrested in charged in connection with a spate of high-value thefts within a number of areas in Scotland.
The pair were cuffed after good were robbed from business premises across the Forth Valley.
After working with officers from surrounding areas, police identified the men, aged 45 and 49, for similar incidents across the west of Scotland.
Ayrshire cops were drafted in to help execute search warrants which resulted in the arrests.
Both men will appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court at a later date.
Officers reminded Scots that any information related to stolen goods can be passed on to police or Crimestoppers.
PC Cole of the Priority Crime Team said: “Offending across local policing areas can present additional challenges.
"But we have the capacity to tackle this and deal with offenders robustly.
"Any information relating to stolen property can be reported to Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be provided anonymously."
