Thieves steal six-figure haul during eight break-ins

Thieves have made off with a haul worth a six-figure sum in a spate of break-ins in the south of Scotland.

Eight properties were broken into in the Lockerbie, Dalton and Lochmaben areas between Friday evening and the early hours of Saturday.

Police said three vehicles were stolen, along with two quad bikes, a cattle trailer, power tools and fuel.

Officers have been checking any relevant CCTV footage from the area in the bid to trace the thieves.

Det Con Rachael Calderwood said: "We are actively investigating these incidents and would ask anyone with information, dashcam or CCTV footage, to contact us.

"Perhaps you saw an unfamiliar vehicle or people whose behaviour seemed suspicious.

"Any small detail could prove significant so please do pass it on."
