Appeal after double assault and robbery of motorcycle from property in Livingston

Detectives are appealing for information following a robbery and assault within a property in the Southpark Place area of Livingston.

The incident took place around 10.30pm on Friday, 15 March, 2024. At that time, a group of four men entered the address, with the intention of stealing a Sur-ron Lightbee electric motorcycle.

“We are appealing for anyone with information on the incident, or if you believe you saw any suspicious activity in the Southpark Place area, to please come forward. We are also asking residents with video doorbells, or passing motorists with dash cams, to contact us as they may have useful footage for our enquiries.
