Two men were detained after police officers were called to an address at Waverley Park at 2.45pm yesterday following a report of concern for a person inside.

One man was subsequently charged and the other was taken to hospital following concerns for his welfare.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Local and specialist resources were deployed in order to ensure the safety of the public and officers. The operation came to a peaceful conclusion shortly before midnight.

“The men, aged 21 and 44, were detained at the scene.

“The 21-year-old was charged with a breach of the peace and will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday February 6.

“The 44-year-old was taken to hospital for treatment and will be reported to the procurator fiscal.”
