A terrified Edinburgh neighbour has spoken of the moment a man threatening to blow up his house and "chop up" police officers - triggering a mass evacuation of their scheme.
The resident, of Stillhouse Loan, Kirkliston, captured various images of armed police surrounding the home of Thomas Currie on July 6, 2022, following a stand-off with emergency services.
On Thursday, February 2, Currie pled guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. One resident reported that he threatened to "chop up" cops while claiming to be in possession of a samurai sword.
