Armed police lock down Dundee street as man arrested in late-night operation

Armed police locked down a Dundee street in a dramatic late night operation.

Officers were joined by fire service vehicles on Calderwood Close, in Beechwood, at 8.15pm on Tuesday.

Witnesses counted at least a dozen emergency vehicles at the scene.

A 23-year-old man was later arrested and is due to appear in court later today.

Residents described the area as being “awash with police”.

Speaking to the local Courier newspaper, one said: “I couldn’t believe what was going on when I came past.

“I counted at least 11 police vehicles at around 9pm and the firies were there as well.

“I’ve been told the police never left the until around midnight and armed police were also in attendance.

“It’s not a part of the city where you would normally see loads of problems so I was taken aback.”

A spokesperson for Police Scotland told Dundee Live: “At around 8.15pm on Tuesday, police received a report of concern for a man in the Calderwood Close area of Dundee.

“Officers attended and we can confirm a 23-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with the incident.

“He is expected to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Wednesday.”
