Three people have been charged in connection with drug and firearm offences as part of an investigation into a Central Belt gang war.
Officers acting under warrant searched a property on Crewe Road Gardens in Edinburgh on April 17.
Two men, aged 61 and 41, and a 17-year-old woman were arrested and charged.
They are due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on April 19.
A number of weapons, including a firearm, and mobile phones were seized during the raid.
Police have said the arrests are linked to gang activity, which has seen a number of homes and businesses torched in both Glasgow and Edinburgh.
