Appeal following a series of housebreakings in Lochaber

Officers in Lochaber are appealing for information after a series of housebreakings.

The first took place between Saturday, 3 January and Friday, 9 January, 2026, at two adjoining properties on the A82 at Letterfinlay, North of Spean Bridge.

A three-figure sum of cash was stolen.

The second happened around 2.10am on Tuesday, 13 January, 2026 at a property in Banavie, Fort William.

A quantity of items, including jewellery, were taken.

Extensive enquiries are ongoing.

Inspector Katy Duncan said: “I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time of either of these incidents and who saw something suspicious to get in touch with officers.

"I’d also ask that those who live locally with private CCTV or dash-cam footage review this to see if it has captured anything of significance that could assist with our investigation.

“I would like to remind residents to be vigilant and mindful of home security. Keep all windows and doors locked and consider installing doorbell cameras, security cameras and alarms.

“Additional security advice is available on the Police Scotland website, and we’d urge the community to report suspicious activity to the police as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information about these housebreakings is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting Crime Reference 0013255/26. Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
