Lothian and Borders police have launched an urgent appeal for information related to two recent raids on caravan parks located in the Scottish county of Roxburghshire.

The break-ins took place in the early hours of Friday (July 20th), with thieves hitting six caravans at the Lilliardsedge site located near the quiet village of Ancrum, according to the Southern Reporter.

A further three tourers were also raided at the Jedwater park site, which is based four miles south of the town of Jedburgh.

No holidaymakers were harmed in the incidents, with initial reports indicating that the thieves had set their sights on stealing television sets from the caravans in question.

Police from the region are now calling on anyone with any information related to the crime to come forward.

Caravanners have already been reminded to increase the security of their tourers after two caravans were stolen from a Lincolnshire site in the space of two days last month.
