A further two arrests has been made by cops probing a gangland war that has been raging across Scotland.
Officers have arrested and charged a 39-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman in connection with setting fire to a vehicle on Bardowie Street in Glasgow on Wednesday, April 30.
The arrests were made following the execution of a warrant in Coatbridge on Friday, July 4.
The pair were both released on an undertaking to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.
The arrests brings the total related to ‘Operation Portaledge’ so far to 54.
Dubai based Mr Big, Ross McGill, has been waging war on Mark Richardson’s crime mob from Edinburgh and the Daniel clan from Glasgow since March after he was ripped off in a £500,000 cocaine deal when the buyer used fake bank notes.
A number of incidents have since taken place in Glasgow, Edinburgh and surrounding areas in recent weeks, with private homes and business premises targeted.
