A man has been jailed for 10 years after stealing vehicles worth more than £300,000 across Forth Valley, Edinburgh and the Lothians.
John Callaghan, 28, was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on November 5, after pleading guilty to 29 offences.
The charges include theft, housebreaking, possession of weapons, misuse of drugs and dangerous driving.
He was convicted of stealing around £329,000 worth of vehicles across the central Scotland regions between December 2024 and April 2025.
Detective Inspector Alan Sharp said: "Callaghan carried out a significant number of crimes over a period of months and will now face the consequences of his actions.
"This sentence is another example of the incredible hard work and dedication by detectives, specialist officers and partners across the country to bring those responsible to justice.
Police Scotland remains committed to the Serious and Organised Crime Taskforce and its national strategy."
Mr Callaghan was arrested and charged after he was stopped by officers in Edinburgh on May 7, 2025.
