TWO men have been charged in connection with housebreakings and vehicle thefts in Peebles.

On Thursday, April 14, a property in Peebles was broken into and a vehicle was taken.

Police are connecting this with a similar incident the day before, on Wednesday, April 13, when a home in Gullane was broken into and two vehicles stolen.

Two vehicles have since been recovered and inquiries are ongoing to trace the third. However, the men aged 17 and 23 have now been arrested.

The pair have also been charged with an attempted housebreaking at another address in Peebles on Thursday, April 14, and will appear in court at a later date.
