Police appeal after car theft

Police are looking for witnesses after a BMW was stolen following a break-in in West Lothian.

The theft took place from Nettlehill Road, Uphall Station, between 6.30pm and 9.05pm on Wednesday (February 9) when a window was smashed and a set of car keys were taken from the property.

A blue BMW X3, with registration number EA63 EVA, was then stolen from the drive.

Officers now believe that the car was driven into Edinburgh, where it was seen in the West Shore Road area of the city at around 10.10pm the same evening.

Detective Sergeant Lynn Myles, of Livingston CID, said: “We are appealing for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious before and after this incident to get in touch.

“In particular, if you have private CCTV or door-bell footage please contact us.

“We are also keen to speak to anyone driving in the area who might have captured something on dash-cam that could help with our investigation.

“The car was driven into Edinburgh so we are also appealing to anyone who may have seen this stolen vehicle or captured it on dash-cam to come forward. It was seen in the Granton area of the city on the night it was stolen.”

Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3407 of Wednesday, 9 February, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
