Police have arrested two people after homes were allegedly broken into and more than £160,000 of valuables including a BMW were stolen.

Two men, aged 25 and 34, have been charged in connection with thefts from properties in Glasgow and Elderslie, Renfrewshire.

Jewellery worth around £60,000 and £4,000 in cash was taken from a property in the Duthie Park area of Knightswood on Friday, November 29.

A watch worth around £13,650 and a BMW car worth around £85,000 was stolen from an address in Elderslie on Tuesday, November 26.

Detective Inspector Ross Jamieson said: “Whenever someone’s home is broken into the impact is considerable, leaving people feeling unsafe. It also has an impact on the local community.

“We are determined to disrupt the activity of those involved and bring those responsible to justice.

“Anyone with information about this kind of crime should call Police Scotland on 101, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
