A 23-year-old man has been arrested and charged after two properties in Edinburgh were attacked at the weekend as part of the gangland war raging on Scotland’s streets.
The Record reported previously how thugs linked to a crime gang targeted a property on Saturday evening, May 10. Footage showed masked thugs smashing windows of the home and forcing themselves inside.
Officers executed a warrant at an address in the Gilmerton area on the morning of Wednesday, May 14, where the 23-year-old was arrested.
Police confirmed the man had been charged in connection with damage to that property, and another in Edinburgh on Saturday.
He has also been charged in connection with a reset offence after a car was stolen from the Falkirk area on 29, April, 2025. He is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday, May 15.
Detective Superintendent Paul Grainger said: “We continue to work at pace to identify and apprehend anyone we believe is involved in incidents of violent disorder, and arrests will continue as our investigation progresses.

Crime gang Tamo Junto (TMJ) have claimed credit for a string of attacks on properties linked to associates of Edinburgh crime boss Mark Richardson and Glasgow clan the Daniels.
The gangland war is believed to have been started after cocaine was stolen from a Dubai- based Mr Big.
An underworld source revealed that gangland figure Steven ‘Bonzo’ Daniel reached out to Mr Big on Saturday to try to negotiate a peace deal but his offer was laughed off.
Mr Big – who we can’t reveal for legal reasons – has waged a relentless war on the Daniel clan and Richardson’s mob for over two months.
The feud started in Edinburgh in March with a number of firebombings at properties linked to Richardson, but moved to Glasgow last month with the Daniel clan being targeted.
