Police in West Lothian are on the hunt for two men dressed in blue jackets and masks after a pair of home break-ins hit the area last week. The crime struck houses on McBeath Avenue in Polbeth and Blair Hill Cresson in Livingston with these making off with whatever they could grab. The first break-in went down sometime between noon on Thursday, April 3rd and 12.50 pm on Friday, April 4th. Just hours later, the second crew rode up in broad daylight around 4 pm. At same Friday, showing these guys got some nerve operating out in the open. Locals are on edge, and detectives are linking the two hits based on the matching outfits and timing. No word yet on what was stolen, but the bold daylight move has folks double-checking their locks and cameras. Cops release suspect descriptions to narrow the search. Both white guys, one standing about 6 feet tall in a blue waterproof jacket with black hood, lining, black pants, and a matching blue mask. The other rock the same jacket and mask, plus a rucksack and maybe gloves.
If you spotted anything shady, or got CCTV or dashcam clips, hit up Police Scotland on 101, reference 1497 from April 4th. 2026. Stay vigilant out there. We'll keep eyes on this one. That's your update from Edinburgh News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
