Santa figures and Christmas trees stolen during break-in at Dobbies garden centre in West Lothian

Christmas decorations worth more than £10,000 were stolen during a break-in at a Dobbie's garden centre in West Lothian.

The thieves took light-up Santa figures and artificial Christmas trees during the incident on Friday night.

Police are trying to track down those responsible, saying the break-in occurred between 6pm on Friday and 8am on Saturday.

Drivers who were in the area have been asked to review any dashcam footage they might have.

Detective constable Marc Lunn of Livingston CID said:  "I am appealing to anyone who was in the area on Friday night or Saturday morning to get in touch if they saw or heard anything suspicious.

"I would also ask anyone who may have been driving in the area around the time to review any dashcam footage and report anything which may be of use to us.

"I would also ask anyone who is offered any of these items to contact officers as soon as possible."

Information can be provided to Police Scotland via 101, quoting reference number 1365 of 30 November, or reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
