Armed cops storm Scots street amid reports of ongoing incident

Armed police have descended on a street in a Scots town in what appears to be a raid on a property.

Images sent to Falkirk Live show officers equipped with handguns and wearing body armour in Crichton Drive in Grangemouth.

One of the officers from Police Scotland appears to be carrying a door ram.

Eyewitnesses said officers poured out of two police vans and two armed response vehicles at the scene before converging on the front door of a house and attempting to force entry.

Police Scotland has since confirmed the incident was linked to "concern for a person".

A force spokesperson said: "Officers attended a concern for a person call and the man has since been traced safe."

The incident follows another in the town in recent weeks where armed response officers were on standby.

Emergency services rushed to Bearcroft Gardens on January 11 following reports of an incident in a house in the cul-de-sac.

A man was then taken to hospital with a police escort.
