Man arrested after jewellery and commemorative coins stolen from homes in St Andrews

A man has been arrested after four houses were ransacked in St Andrews.

The 35-year-old man has been charged in connection with a series of housebreakings that resulted in jewellery and other valuables being swiped.

Officers from Police Scotland are now hunting several items they claim are still missing from the properties.

It comes after the homes were broken into on Tuesday, March 3.

The incidents allegedly happened on Berry Place, Learmonth Place, Crawford Gardens and Priory Gardens.

Cops from Levenmouth CID charged the suspect who will appear at Dundee Sheriff Court later today.

Detective Constable Alan Shovlin, from Levenmouth CID, said: "We are delighted that our inquiry has led to an arrest however there is still a considerable amount of valuables, including jewellery and commemorative coins outstanding.

"I would urge anyone who may have information about the location of the outstanding property or who has been offered commemorative coins/ unique jewellery for sale to contact police on 101 quoting incident number 3572 of 4 March."

The investigation was carried out as part of Operation Principle.
