“Armed police” have swarmed on a quiet Edinburgh estate this evening amid an ongoing incident.
An image of the incident, which took place at around 6.20pm on Friday, October 10, showed five police vehicles parked outside flat blocks on Murrayburn Green in Wester Hailes.
It is understood police dogs were also in attendance.
While the exact nature of the incident is currently not known, one concerned passer-by told Edinburgh Live: “The armed police and dog units left at 6.40pm.
“Two units remained there until about [8pm] when they escorted one person out in handcuffs before also leaving the scene.”
