Kevin Stewart (40) from Leven appeared at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court facing a charge of theft by housebreaking.

He made no plea or declaration during a brief private hearing and the case was continued for further examination.

Stewart was released on bail ahead of further court dates being set.

A 36-year-old woman was also arrested over the theft but she was released from custody without appearing in court.

The Crown Office said the case against her remains under consideration.
