Police officers have been called to an Edinburgh primary school after parents complained they were being targeted by '5G conspiracy theorists'.
Edinburgh Council confirm they alerted officers after concerned locals reported a group of three people allegedly using 'aggressive tactics' - including confronting older pupils.
One concerned mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, says the trio approached parents and children at Roseburn Primary School to hand out leaflets on conspiracies around censorship and 5G.

The woman, who works as a doctor, says police were called last week to deal with the group but they were back again on Monday June 5 distributing more flyers.
Parents claim the group tried to speak to single mums and older primary school pupils about their opposition to the construction of 5G masts on St John’s Road and Russell Road.
“Three people have been coming to the school handing out leaflets about a petition to stop 5G masts being erected in the area,” the parent said.
“From my understanding most parents do not seem fussed with the 5G masts but they have been quite aggressive in targeting women and children, telling them that 5G is damaging the kids.
“I am a doctor and as far as I am aware there is no danger posed to anyone by these 5G masts, it is just horrible what they are doing.
“They were here last week and the police were called but they are back again and parents have just had enough. Why can’t they go up to Roseburn high street where no one would really mind instead of them targeting schools.
“They keep asking if we want to be in a video but it doesn’t matter how many times we say no as they seem bulletproof and won’t leave us alone.
“A lot of us are just mums going to collect our kids and just feel this is really inappropriate. There probably are not any laws against what they are doing but we feel intimidated by the way they are telling us 5G is damaging our kids.
“Those handing out the leaflets have approached primary six and seven children saying that if they record a comment they will be sent a free pizza which is concerning. This is similar to the anti-vax stuff we saw during Covid.”
The leaflets, which have been seen by Edinburgh Live, offer free Domino’s pizza to anyone that comments on a Substack article relating to censorship.
There are multiple claims that the media is silencing various topics as well as a fundraiser for £3.6million to start a new newsletter company in the UK that will look to cover topics relating to censorship.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 2.55pm on Thursday June 12023, we received a report of a small protest in the Roseburn Street area of Edinburgh.
"Officers attended and enquiries were carried out, however no criminality was established."
The City of Edinburgh Council confirmed that leaflets were handed out outside the school last week and following complaints from parents police were called.
