Police and ambulances descend on West Lothian street after hoax call

Several police cars and ambulances descended on a West Lothian street last night in what turned out to be a hoax call.

The emergency services raced to property at Cardross Road in Broxburn at around 7pm last night, reported Edinburgh Live.

Pictures showed a number of police cars, ambulances and an incident support unit lined on both sides of the street.

But Police Scotland this morning confirmed it had been a "false call" and reports of a person being unwell were not correct.

The spokesperson continued: "Around 7.10pm on Monday, 26 September, police were called to assist a report of someone unwell in Cardross Road, Broxburn. .

"Officers attended and carried out enquiries, however this is being treated as a false call."
