Around 4.50 am on Thursday, 1 June, a report was made to police that several premises within Bankhead Industrial Estate on Edinburgh Road had been broken into.

So far, it has been established that a white MAN 7.5 tonne lorry with the logo ‘J Borthwick Ltd’ on the side had been stolen from a catering business. It was seen on CCTV leaving the premises and on to the A68 heading south around 11 pm.

Detective Constable Liam Myres, Scottish Borders CID, Police Scotland, said:

“Our enquiries are currently ongoing. We know that security was breached in multiple businesses and access has been gained to their yards.

“The industrial estate is just off the A68, the main route through Jedburgh. We would appeal to anyone who was in the area last night between 10 pm and 11.30 pm, who may have seen something out of the ordinary in the area, maybe people or vehicles in the estate or driving at speed from the area on to the A68. If you have dash-can footage from the road between those times please let police know.  It may be that footage has been captured that could assist our investigation."
