Jewellery and clothes worth £300,000 stolen from 'remote' house

Police are appealing for information after jewellery and clothes worth £300,000 were stolen from a “remote” house in South Ayrshire.

Officers say around 6pm on Tuesday, February 25, a property near the B739, between Tarbolton and Monkton, was broken into.

Jewellery and clothing worth approximately £300,000 were stolen.

It is believed that two males were involved in the break-in, and they would have needed access to a vehicle.

A team of detectives has reviewed CCTV and carried out extensive enquiries in the local area.

Detective Sergeant Davie Gillies, Ayr CID, said: “We are now appealing for the help of the public.

“We believe this house was targeted specifically for its remote location and with the intention of stealing high-value items.

“Our enquiries remain ongoing and I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident, who may have seen a car or people acting suspiciously in the area on the day the property was broken into or in the days leading up to it or who may have information which could assist to contact us.

“I would also ask any road users who were in the area of the B739, between Tarbolton and Monkton, around the time and who may have dash cam footage which could help to get in touch.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101, quoting reference 3693 of February 24, 2026.
