Two men have been arrested after copper was stolen from a new police station which is being built in West Lothian.

A security guard chased the alleged thieves at the new Civic Centre in Livingston before calling for help from police officers on bikes.

The officers were able to go down lanes which were not wide enough for police cars.

Police said two men, aged 21 and 17, were the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal.
