One local, who did not wish to be named, told the Edinburgh Evening News: "It was a major incident. Some guys got out of a car and went towards a house and next thing we knew, there's police cars and vans everywhere.

"I counted 11 police vans. There was six police cars, and at one time three ambulances.

"It was utter pandemonium in Edmonstone Terrace," he added.
