Detectives in Aberdeen are investigating two high-value housebreakings that are believed to be linked.
The first incident took place between 28th August 2026 and 9th September 2026 at a property located in the King’s Gate area, where forced entry led to the theft of jewellery.
Another incident occurred on 10th September 2026, between 11:30am and 2:50pm, at a property on Newburgh Road.
This time, jewellery and cash were stolen after forced entry into the home.
