Dramatic Photos of Stanley Incident as Bomb Squad Called to 'Suspicious Package'

  • On Monday afternoon, Police Scotland closed Restalrig Avenue in Edinburgh and evacuated nearby homes after reports of a "potentially suspicious item." Emergency services established a cordon between Loganlea Avenue and Loganlea Drive.
  • The Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit attended the scene to investigate the report. The British Army's 11 EOD & Search Regiment Royal Logistic Corps specializes in improvised explosive device and conventional munitions disposal.
  • Resident Audrey Tomassi said she could not access the road by 3pm for a medical appointment, while another local named Michelle told the media, "Weve just not been able to get back to the house." Police maintained the cordon as a precaution.
  • By 6pm on Monday, the force announced the road had been reopened after "the item was made safe." Lothian Buses confirmed that service 25 resumed its normal route following the incident.
  • Restalrig Avenue is located in east Edinburgh, approximately two miles from the city centre near Jock's Lodge. Authorities have since cleared the emergency cordon and restored full access to the residential street.
