Armed police descended on a Fife street during an early-morning raid.
Several police vehicles were spotted outside a block of flats on Allan Park in Hill of Beath.
A number of officers at the scene were carrying guns.
Locals reported on social media seeing five police vehicles along with an incident response unit at around 7.20am.
Police confirmed they were executing a warrant at an address but no arrests were made.
Those living nearby described the scene outside their homes like something from a “gangster movie”.
‘It was quite frightening’
One Allan Park resident said: “I couldn’t believe it when I pulled back the curtains to see the street full of police with guns.
“It was like a scene from a gangster movie or a police drama.
“I certainly didn’t expect that, it was quite frightening.”
Another resident said he was woken by the sound of car engines.
He said: “There was a significant number of officers and it was obvious some sort of raid was taking place.
“A number of officers were wearing helmets and riot gear and some had guns as well.
“There was one with a battering ram. They went straight into the flats at the bottom of the cul-de-sac.
“A few moments later an officer appeared on the first floor balcony of one of the flats.
No arrests after armed police raid
“I saw officers removing a number of items from the property too.”
Police say an investigation is continuing.
A spokeswoman said: “Around 6.15 am on Wednesday, officers executed a warrant at a property in the Allan Park area of Cowdenbeath.
“No one was arrested and inquiries are ongoing.”
