Police have arrested and charged a teenager after two women were robbed in Edinburgh.
Around 2.10pm on Sunday, 14 June, a 93-year-old woman was approached by a man on Stevenson Road and robbed of jewellery.
A second incident happened during the same afternoon in Shandon Place, where a 78-year-old woman was approached, asked for directions, and subsequently robbed of jewellery.
A 17-year-old male has been arrested and charged in connection with both incidents.
He was due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday, 3 July, 2026.
Detective Constable Lindsay Johnston said: “I would like to thank those members of the public who assisted the victims at the time and for their support during our investigation.
“As a direct result of our public appeal into the Stevenson Road incident, a second complainer came forward to report what happened to them in extremely similar circumstances in the Shandon Place area.
“We remain committed to tackling crimes of dishonesty and bring offenders before the courts.”
