Two teenagers have been arrested and charged following what are believed to be linked Elgin break-ins.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, police were called after a car and a house were broken into.

Officers were first alerted to a report of a housebreaking in Ernest Hamilton Court at about 2.10am.

Only 40 minutes later, at around 2.50am, police went out to a report of a car being broken into on Mitchell Crescent.

The two incidents are believed to be linked.
