Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses following a break-in and high-value theft at a store in the city-centre.
The incident happened sometime between 5.15pm on Saturday 14th and 10am on Monday 16th September at the Handbag Heaven premises in Howe Street.
Staff returned to work to find the property had been entered and several handbags had been stolen along with sunglasses, jewellery and belts. Among the items taken were:
A Hermes vintage classic 1954 handbag in cream leather with gold clasp
A Jimmy Choo perforated tan leather with double gold bangle
A Louis Vuitton large hobo bag in brown suede, monogrammed throughout
A Prada tan and python leather with clip top and rope handles
It is believed the stolen goods are worth a five-figure sum.
PC Gavin Howat said: “All of the items taken from the store are extremely expensive and those responsible may attempt to sell them on at a discounted rate.
“As such, anyone who is offered any handbags matching the description of these is asked to contact police immediately.
“Similarly, anyone who remembers seeing anything suspicious in the Howe Street area over the weekend or early on Monday morning is also asked to come forward.”
Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101 or alternatively, the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
