Police investigate gangland ties to Glasgow fire attacks

Detectives in Scotland are investigating a series of firebombings believed to be connected to an ongoing gangland feud, with two homes set ablaze in Bishopbriggs on April 14. Emergency services extinguished the fires on Colston Drive and John Marshall Drive without any reported injuries, but both incidents are being treated as deliberate acts linked to organized crime. This recent surge of violence follows a pattern of targeted attacks, including the assault of a 72-year-old woman and a 12-year-old boy, which occurred just days prior and is also thought to be connected to the feuding gangs. Police Scotland has reported at least six properties targeted in a week, and video footage of these attacks has surfaced online, heightening community concerns. Detective Chief Superintendent David Ferry emphasized the need to apprehend those responsible for these reckless actions, stating such violence will not be tolerated. The police response has increased amid growing tensions and linked incidents across Edinburgh and Glasgow.
