A large police presence was spotted on a busy Edinburgh street<\/a> this evening as shocked eye-witnesses watched on.<\/p>\n A number of police vehicles<\/a> were pictured on Lauriston Place, near Tollcross, at around 7.30pm on Wednesday.<\/p>\n In a picture shared with Edinburgh Live<\/a>, a single van can be seen parked on one side of the road with three other vehicles on the opposite side.<\/p>\n Several people can also be seen watching on. The nature of the incident<\/a> is so far unclear.<\/p>\n One local resident passing at the time said: “There are loads of police<\/a> on Lauriston Place just past the Tollcross crossroads but I couldn’t actually see any officers.<\/p>\n “It was a weird mix of vehicles as there was a big what looked like riot van and a normal van as well as two cars parked at the side of the road.<\/p>\n “You could see people looking on out of curiosity but there was no commotion in the street so it looks like they were maybe dealing with an incident at a nearby flat.”<\/p>\n Police Scotland<\/a> have been asked for comment.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
