Photos seen by the Scottish Sun showed a police helicopter circling the area at around 10pm.

Eyewitnesses then saw the chopper flying further south of Edinburgh.

And cops have now revealed they were in pursuit of a motorcyclist who failed to stop for officers.

Dog units were also brought in before the chase ended and a 23-year-old was arrested.
