Investigation launched into Edinburgh gang feud violence

Police in Edinburgh are investigating a serious gang feud that has led to firebombings and gunfire in the city. Recently, there have been several alarming incidents, including homes being targeted and shots fired in public areas. A house on Hay Drive was set on fire early on Sunday morning. This raises concerns about safety in the community, as there have also been two shooting incidents involving firearms. Both incidents occurred in Niddrie and West Pilton Bank but thankfully resulted in no injuries. Authorities believe the recent events are connected to rival crime groups that are clashing with one another. Earlier this month, a beauty salon and a storage facility also caught fire under suspicious circumstances, and police are looking into whether these cases are related. Superintendent Paul Gillespie reassured the community that law enforcement is taking strong actions. A dedicated team of detectives is on the case, collecting significant CCTV footage and conducting road checks in key areas. The police are increasing patrols in the neighborhoods to ensure public safety. They encourage anyone with information or concerns to reach out to them.
