Ancient Egyptian artefacts and swords have been stolen from a country house in East Lothian.

High value items worth more than £4000 were taken from a rare collection at Biel House in Stenton near Dunbar.

Daggers, spears and arrows were among the other objects taken from the mansion.

The 18th century house was raided at some time between 4pm on Tuesday and 9am on Wednesday.

The house, which also includes a 14th century tower, is privately owned.

Police constable Karen Hamilton said: "These artefacts have been in the museum at Biel House for many years and we are keen to make sure these are returned to where they belong.

"Anyone who is offered one of these rare items is asked to contact officers on 101."
