Major police operation under way in Edinburgh street with road blocked off
A major police operation is under way in a residential road in Edinburgh.
Police descended on a property in Broomhall Terrace in Corstorphine shortly before 12pm on Thursday, August 7, with multiple police vehicles and officers in attendance. The road was still taped off as of 4pm today.
Witnesses reported seeing seven police vans and two police cars on the scene, with one blocking the entrance and preventing traffic from accessing the road.
One also said an ambulance had arrived at the scene, where a tent has been erected. She added that officers were directing traffic and pedestrians away from the area.
The nature of the incident is not yet known, but earlier today, a Police Scotland spokesman said officers are ‘executing a search warrant’ in the area.
She said: "Officers are executing a search warrant in connection with an ongoing investigation."
