Dramatic scenes in south Edinburgh as police vans swoop on Comiston Road in Morningside

Morningside residents have taken to social media this evening (19 October) to discuss a large-scale police operation at a property on Comiston Road, which involved at least six vehicles: three police cars and three police vans. It's believed at least one man has been taken into custody as a result of the raid.

Writing on a local Facebook group, one woman said:

"Not sure what’s happening in Comiston Road - three police cars and three vans and a guy taken into custody across the road?"

She added: "They have taken one guy away but two vehicles still outside there now."
