A large police presence was spotted on a busy Edinburgh street this evening as shocked eye-witnesses watched on.

In a picture shared with Edinburgh Live, a single van can be seen parked on one side of the road with three other vehicles on the opposite side. Several people can also be seen watching on. The nature of the incident is so far unclear. One local resident passing at the time said: "There are loads of police on Lauriston Place just past the Tollcross crossroads but I couldn't actually see any officers. "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. "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."
