Armourguard received notification of the break in and notified police, but the thieves were nowhere to be seen when they arrived.
Last night at 10.30pm, officers stopped a vehicle in Corstophine Rd and spotted a 27-year-old woman sitting inside the car as a passenger.
The woman had a warrant out for her arrest in relation to the theft, and was arrested by officers.
She will appear in court at a later date.
