Detectives are appealing for witnesses after three vans were stolen from a yard in Whitburn.

Three flatbed Ford Transit vans were taken from a compound at Blaeberry Cemetery after entry was gained to the site on Blaeberry Road around 10.25pm on Friday, 2 January, 2026.

Two of the vans have since been recovered nearby but one remains outstanding.

“One of the vehicles remains outstanding and we would urge anyone who thinks they may have seen it to get in touch.

“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam or private CCTV footage from the area.

“Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 0698 of 3 January, 2026, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
