Police in riot gear have stormed a home during a raid in Dundee.

Officers descended on a property at Rosebank Court on Rosebank Street in the Hilltown at around 11am on Tuesday.

Locals said they saw police in helmets entering a property.

Officers later entered the home with a ladder, torches and a sledgehammer, and banging could be heard from inside the house.

Several police vans were also parked up nearby.

One woman who lives nearby said: “I had an appointment in the morning and was heading out just after 11am.

“I grabbed my handbag and saw the riot police running in.

“My car was blocked in and I asked if I could get out.

“Officers said they were dealing with something.

“I was shaking when I got to my appointment.”

Another resident said: “I believe the police arrived just after 11am.

“The police were on the street in similar circumstances a few weeks back.

“Officers were in riot gear when I looked out.

“They were here for hours searching the address.

“They seemed to be in the garden for a while as part of the investigation.

“The officers started to leave the scene shortly after 3pm.”

Police Scotland says the incident is in connection with an “ongoing inquiry” but has refused to say more.

A spokesperson said: “Police searched a property in Rosebank Court, Dundee under warrant in connection with an ongoing inquiry.

“Officers remain at the scene.”
