Detective Constable Emma Thacker, of Livingston CID, said: "I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time or lives nearby who heard or saw anything suspicious to contact police.
"The person responsible stole a significant amount of designer children's clothing, so it is likely they will try to sell these items in the next few days. If somebody has approached you offering to sell such items of clothing, please contact police and let us know.
"I am also appealing to anyone who may have been driving in the area at the time and has a dash-cam. I would ask you to check back and see if there is any footage of a male suspect matching this description that could help our investigation.
