Thieves stole watches worth a whopping £85k and two expensive cars during a home raid in East Lothian. 

The nine distinctive pieces included a Jaeger, priced at a staggering £36,700, and two Rolexes priced at £10k and £8k.

Thieves also took a grey Audi RS6 estate and a black Land Rover Defender from York Road, North Berwick , around 3am on August 21.

Cops believe that the two vehicles were driven into Edinburgh after the incident which has left the victim distaught.

The Land Rover, registration number G1 SUD, has a significant amount of body customisation.

The Audi RS6's registration is G2 SUD.

“All the watches taken are of high value and are very distinctive, as is the Land rover Defender which has had a significant amount of body customisation carried out.

“We believe the vehicles may have been parked up somewhere in East Lothian after the incident, before being driven into the Edinburgh area during the evening of the 21st of August.

“We would urge anyone who may have seen the vehicles or who may have any information about this incident, to get in touch as a matter of urgency.”
