Police say there is “no cause for public concern” over an officer standing guard outside a house in Cowdenbeath.
Locals reported seeing cops descending on flats on Anderson Drive at around 9pm on Thursday.
Some claimed to have spotted police wearing white suits and officers carrying “shields and batons” entering a house.
Posting on social media, one said:Â “I was watching it, [the] whole street was out.”
Van on street and officer guarding house
Police were still at the scene on Friday morning – 12 hours later – with one van and two officers in attendance.
A resident said: “There’s one officer sitting in a van on the street and a female cop standing at the back door of a house on the street.
“There’s not any blue tape around the house which is quite confusing, they usually have police tape out for an incident going on for as long as this.”
Police Scotland had initially refused to reveal the nature of the incident but said there was no cause for concern to the public.
A spokesperson later said: “Around 9pm on Thursday March 10, 2022, acting on information received, police officers attended an address in Anderson Drive, Cowdenbeath.
“A search of the premise has been completed and nothing criminal been found.
“Enquires are completed with no further police involvement.
“Advice and assistance has been given.”
