Two houses in Comrie, west Perthshire, have been broken into in what are thought to be connected crimes – although nothing was stolen.
The first home, located on Gowanlea Road, was broken into between March 5 and March 15.
Rooms in the property were entered and disturbed but nothing was stolen.
The second home is on Strathview Place, just a four-minute walk away.
It was targeted on Sunday, with the intruders once again entering rooms but taking nothing.
