The Armed Offenders Squad was called to an address on Hamilton Street in East Gore shortly after 2.30pm.
At the time, police said the lockdown was a precaution and cordons were in place.
The police confirmed no one was injured, and said they were satisfied that no one was at risk.
Cordons have since been lifted and businesses are no longer in lockdown.
Police said they would continue to investigate what happened.
