Getting a parking space in Edinburgh city centre can be difficult, especially just round the corner from our Edinburgh office where some people go to extreme’s!
A teenager has been detained by police after a stolen car crashed into an Edinburgh office basement.
The 16-year-old is being questioned by police following the incident at the corner of North Castle Street and Hill Street on Tuesday at 1230 BST.
Police said the driver was not being pursued but when he saw a police car out on patrol he drove at high speed and crashed into the basement.
The driver sustained minor cuts in the incident.
Firefighters used a Tirfor winch to remove the wreckage of the Blue Ford Focus.
A police spokesman said: “It was a stolen vehicle but I can confirm he was not being pursued by the police.
“He saw a police car and drove off at high speed before swerving and crashing into the basement.”

So Terinea’s Top Tip, if your out and about along Castle Street, look out for Chav’s driving stolen cars, you maybe safer on the Road?!
