Police race to Edinburgh flats as officers deal with ongoing incident

Police are currently dealing with an ongoing incident at Cables Wynd House in Edinburgh.

At least five vehicles are in attendance at the flats in Leith, having been scrambled to the scene shortly before 6pm on Friday.

An eyewitness told Edinburgh Live officers appear to be dealing with an incident at a property on the first floor.

At 7pm a heavy police presence remained in the area, with several large vans on the scene.

Police Scotland have since told Edinburgh Live they were called to a "concern for person" incident and remain at the scene.

A spokesperson said: "Police were called around 5.45pm to a concern for person incident at an address in Cables Wynd and officers are at the scene.”
