The property at Prestonfield Crescent. <\/p>\n
Two more firebombings<\/a> are understood to have taken place in Edinburgh as the war against Mark Richardson continues.<\/p>\n Cops were alerted to possible fire damage at a property in Niddrie Marischal Crescent<\/a> in the city in the early hours of this morning. It’s the second time the property has been targeted after being shot at last month.<\/a><\/p>\n Elsewhere, pictures show a property at Prestonfield Crescent<\/a> was also torched, but police have no details on this incident at present.<\/p>\n The Record reported this morning <\/a>on another house being set alight at Pitcairn Grove, while a child was inside the house.<\/p>\n All three of last night’s firebombing attacks are believed to have happened at homes linked to cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson’s crew, as a Dubai-based Mr Big<\/a> continues his war on the gang over a stash of stolen cocaine.<\/p>\n Speaking to the Record, an underworld source explained that the Dubai gangster is not bothered by Mark Richardson’s promise of retaliation.<\/p>\n He explained the feud has moved back to Edinburgh as the ‘heat’ from cops in Glasgow was getting too much.<\/p>\n He said: “Mr Big is not concerned at all by Richardson’s threats.<\/a> He has been saying this for two months and nothing has happened.<\/p>\n “The Dubai player’s enforcers <\/a>in Glasgow were feeling a lot of heat in Glasgow from the cops so have taken a back step for the time being.<\/p>\n “It was the same in Edinburgh<\/a> a few weeks ago but there’s less police on the streets now so the boys over there are active again and went for Richardson’s mob last night. “The Daniel family<\/a> shouldn’t get too comfortable because he isn’t through with them.”<\/p>\n A plush property on Edinburgh’s Pitcairn Grove was set alight during the early hours of this morning. Chilling footage<\/a> shared with the Record shows the house up belonging to Richardson associate David McMillan going up in flames after two masked thugs doused the door and inside of the letterbox in petrol.<\/p>\n Another gangland source said: “There were kids inside the house so McMillan<\/a> is absolutely raging. Kids and women are usually kept out of disputes<\/a> but these guys are absolutely ruthless.”<\/p>\n The attack happened on the six year anniversary of the assassination<\/a> of Trainspotting T2 star Bradley Welsh who was best pals with McMillan.<\/p>\n The source added: “Choosing to target McMillan on Welsh’s death anniversary<\/a> is no coincidence.”<\/p>\n Richardson is said to be paying an army of gangsters a huge \u00a3100k bounty to attack firebomb hitmen waging war on his crew. The kingpin, currently behind bars at HMP Low Moss<\/a>, has ordered his Edinburgh foot soldiers to assemble a squad who will “track and trace” thugs who targeted homes and businesses linked to him.<\/p>\n He is offering the cash to anyone who can hunt down<\/a> those the running yobs burning buildings across the capital, with smaller sums to be paid to anyone who can snare lower-ranking members of the rival gang.<\/p>\n A source said: “Mark<\/a> has recruited a squad in the city to start reprisals. They have accepted a huge track and trace bounty<\/a> to attack the guys who have been going around setting fires.<\/p>\n “The bounty could be up to \u00a3100k per head<\/a>, depending on who they get. It’s well known that a couple of older guys in Edinburgh<\/a> are pulling the strings, so if the squad gets to them, the bounty will be high.<\/p>\n “Anyone under them could be \u00a350k<\/a>, \u00a330k or as low as \u00a310k. His aim is to get this situation<\/a> under control asap.”<\/p>\n The Mr Big gangster has launched a relentless vendetta, torching<\/a> and shooting at properties owned by Richardson’s over the past two months.<\/p>\n The hood’s crew have taken to staying in hotels<\/a> in a bid to lie low after the spate of violence in the city.<\/p>\n The Record reported this week Steven ‘Bonzo’ Daniel<\/a> has fled to Dubai after his home in Bishopbriggs was firebombed.<\/p>\n![\"Mark](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/3_Screen-Shot-2021-04-28-at-1713.jpg\")
