A further two arrests has been made by cops probing a gangland war that has been raging across Scotland.<\/p>\n

Officers<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

The arrests <\/a>were made following the execution of a warrant in Coatbridge on Friday, July 4.<\/p>\n

The pair were both released on an undertaking to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.<\/p>\n

The arrests<\/a> brings the total related to ‘Operation Portaledge’ so far to 54.<\/p>\n

Dubai based Mr Big, Ross McGill, has been waging war<\/a> on Mark Richardson’s crime mob from Edinburgh and the Daniel clan from Glasgow since March after he was ripped off in a \u00a3500,000 cocaine deal when the buyer used fake bank notes.<\/p>\n

A number of incidents have since taken place in Glasgow<\/a>, Edinburgh and surrounding areas in recent weeks, with private homes and business premises targeted.<\/p>\n
