Police are hunting three suspects who fled the scene of an Edinburgh gangland firebomb attack in a black hatchback car.
A white defender was one of two motors torched on the driveway of gangster Mark Richardon’s close pal.
The blaze took place at David McMillan’s plush Edinburgh property in the city on Thursday at around 6.30pm.
No one was injured in the fire.
Detectives say the three suspects fled along Greenbank Drive.
Now CID are asking for the public’s help after the latest terrifying blaze attack in Scotland’s gangland wars.

They are also keen to trace a dog walker who may have witnessed the attackers leaving the area.
Detective Superintendent Paul Grainger said: “This was a reckless act which has resulted in significant fire damage to the vehicles. We believe this was a targeted attack and it is fortunate that no one was injured.
“I am directly appealing to a dog walker who was in the area at the time and may have seen the suspects leaving the area. If this was you, or you can help us trace this person, please get in touch with officers.

The clip shows a man wearing a black balaclava and black jacket running from the scene as the motor bursts into flames. The disturbing footage was set to the song ‘Liar Liar’ by Avicii and released by Mr Big’s enforcers Tamo Junto, a faceless group who have claimed responsibility for a wave of gangland attacks.
A source said: “The family were in their back garden having a barbecue when the car was set on fire.
“You can see the guy who torched the car running away.”

David McMIllan
It comes weeks after the home was also targeted on April 17. David McMillan’s house – which had children sleeping inside – was targeted by two masked thugs who set the front door on fire before fleeing.
The attack happened on the six year anniversary of the assassination of Trainspotting T2 star Bradley Welsh who was pals with McMillan, 54.
The attack is the latest in a series of incidents across the country that are being probed amid a gangland turf war.
Cops have now made 31 arrests in connection to the ongoing feud that started in Edinburgh in March after a “Mr Big” gangster based in Dubai had a stash of cocaine swiped by cronies of crime kingpin Mark Richardson.
The turf war then spread to Glasgow – with the notorious Daniel crime family becoming prime targets due to their connections with Richardon’s hoods.

Mr Big’s enforcers, a faceless group by the name of Tamo Junto, have called out their key targets in a series of videos of recent weeks.
Earlier today we reported how police stormed properties in Glasgow in dawn raids.
The Record attended one property in Barlanark in the east end of Glasgow as specialist cops armed with chainsaws and batons smashed their way into the home at 5am.
Elsewhere, homes were raided in Maryhill, Hamiltonhill, Milton of Campsie and Wishaw.
