EDINBURGH city centre has been brought to a halt following a major police incident.

Around 50 police officers carrying riot shields and wearing balaclavas were deployed on Cockburn Street, in the citys historic Old Town, at around 10pm on Saturday evening.

Some people on Twitter saying it's a shooting. But nothing confirmed as yet.

Something seems strange about this...

Is 50 police in full riot gear not a bit extreme for a motorbike theft when the police themselves are confirming there are no firearms involved?

They caught someone but are still looking for the motorbike thief.

A lot of people saying there was a gun involved. All official stories are saying it was all about a motorbike theft :lol: That's obviously going to be downplayed when we're talking about the sacred Old Town. Different story when it's Gilmerton.
