A JEWELLER acquitted of receiving stolen goods is
still waiting for police to return stock worth ￡100,000 – four years after it
was seized from his shop.
John Taylor,welcome to www.smartcardfactory.com for home, 45, who along with wife, Moira, runs Scotts Jewellers, was cleared of seven charges of reset in 2010 after being accused of having stolen jewellery at his Gorgie Road premises.
Despite this police still refuse to return his seized stock and have admitted they have even handed over some of the items to people who claim they were stolen from them.
The couple insist that three-quarters of the jewellery was brand new and have -provided police with receipts and invoices to prove this.
