Schools in lockdown

Two schools and several streets in Huntly are locked down after an ‘‘incident’’. Police were called to Fraser St shortly after 10am on Wednesday, a statement said. ‘‘Cordons are in place on nearby streets, two schools have been advised to lock down and members of the public are asked to avoid the area while the incident is resolved.’’ A local said police were running around and jumping fences to try and catch the ‘‘young ones’’. Up to nine police cars and a surveillance van could be seen in the Semple St and Fraser St area. Some police officers could be seen carrying firearms. The Armed Offenders Squad and a dog unit were also at the scene.
