Police are urging people to make sure their homes are safe and secure after two break-ins in broad daylight just days apart.
Thieves robbed two homes last week, both in the middle of the day, when the owners were out.
The first happened on Tuesday, January 17 when a house at Muir Road, in Bathgate was robbed in broad daylight and jewellery stolen. The break-in occurred sometime between 12 noon and 1.10 pm on Tuesday while the owners were out.
A man was seen in the area with dark hair and was wearing dark coloured clothing.
The next happened just two days later on 1.10pm on Thursday, January 19 a property in Tippet Knowes Road, Winchburgh.
The thieves again made off with jewellery from the house.
Police have issued appeals for information to help solve the crimes and have also issued to tips to home owners on how to make sure their properties are secure.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Having your home broken into is not common. There are however many ways that you can help secure your home.
“They don’t all cost money – some are common sense and good housekeeping.
“First, think about basic good housekeeping routines that aren’t expensive.
“Keep your home locked at all time. Many thieves do not need to break in at all because a door or window has been left open or unlocked
“Don’t leave keys on the inside of door locks, under mats or anywhere else they can be easily found.
“If you have a thumb turn lock on the inside of a door, ensure that it cannot be accessed from outside.
“Don’t put your name or room number on your keyring if you live in shared accommodation, if it is lost or stolen, the thief will have information that could direct them there and don’t keep house keys and car keys on the same key ring.
“Don’t keep a lot
