An Edinburgh street was cordoned off for an hour yesterday lunch time after a jar of potassium cyanide was found in a house in the city’s West End.
A woman was clearing out her father’s home in Palmerston Place when she found the jar of the highly toxic substance is used in the jewellery making process.
Specialist Fire Service officers removed the substance from the property to be safely destroyed.
