Two teenagers arrested after incident involving weapons in Edinburgh

Two males aged 17 and 18 have been arrested after an incident involving weapons in Edinburgh.

Police Scotland said officers were called to reports of a disturbance at 4.20pm on Wednesday in The Jewel area.

The pair were arrested and charged in connection with assault to endangerment of life, breach of the peace and weapons offences.

There were no reported injuries and police are seeking others involved in the incident.

Chief inspector Alison Macdonald said: “We are treating this as a targeted attack and extensive inquiries are continuing to trace others involved.

“This type of violence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

“Officers are committed to tackling crime and antisocial behaviour in the local community. Targeted patrols will continue to deter and detect any criminality.

“Anyone with any concerns should speak to local officers or contact us through 101.”
