Police are appealing for witnesses after a safe containing jewellery worth more than £100,000 was stolen from a flat in Edinburgh.

The large metal safe, holding cash in pounds and dollars and distinctive pieces of jewellery, was taken from from a flat on Constitution Street, Leith.

Officers believe the incident took place between 10am on Saturday May 12 and 9am on Tuesday May 15.

Police constable David Smith of Corstorphine's Community Investigation Unit said: "The contents of the safe are believed to be collectively worth a six-figure sum and this is currently being treated as a targeted theft.

"The stolen safe weighed over 200kg and is likely to have taken several people to move.

We believe it may have been taken from the property in another item, such as a suitcase.

"It's likely that a vehicle was involved to transport the safe and we'd urge anyone who may have seen suspicious behaviour, or vehicles, in the area around this time to contact either us or Crimestoppers as soon as possible."
