Man 'stole £11,000 of property during 46 break-ins'
Stolen property, including jewellery dating back more than a century, was recovered.
A man has been charged in connection with 46 housebreakings across Edinburgh.
Around £11,000 worth of stolen property, including jewellery dating back to 1904 and passed down through generations, has since been recovered and reunited with its rightful owners.
The 27-year-old suspect was initially arrested and charged in November for five break-ins.
But after the recovery of property by officers, he was subsequently charged in connection with a further 41 incidents.
The break-ins took place in the Mountcastle, Craigentinny and Portobello areas between May and November.
The man is currently remanded and awaiting trial for the offences.
Detective inspector Bob Campbell said: "Having your home broken into can be an extremely distressing experience and we remain committed to tackling break-ins.
"We will use all resources at our disposal to fully investigate every line of enquiry available to us, and bring perpetrators of these crimes before the courts."
