Footage has captured the moment that a carpet factory linked to the Daniel clan<\/a> was set on fire during a gangland feud caught on camera.<\/p>\n

It comes as three men have been jailed over the incident at The Carpet Store Factory Outlet in Bishopbriggs<\/a> on April 7. The video set against the Prodigy song Firestarter, shows the building completely enveloped in flames, before ending with a menacing message , reports the Record.<\/a><\/p>\n

It stated: “Daniel and Richardsons, every associate and every business will be targeted. Leave Scotland immediately.”<\/p>\n

The High Court in Glasgow<\/a> heard today how Marshall O’Hara, 21, Fraser Stewart, 22, and Aiden McLaughlin, 21, targeted houses and a carpet firm linked to the Daniel crime family. The trio were mainly snared due to damning CCTV and doorbell camera footage.<\/p>\n

This included capturing McLaughlin’s trainers catching fire as he leapt from the roof of one of the blaze sites. The three admitted their involvement as they appeared in the dock.<\/p>\n

The trio were arrested between April 23 and May 17 during the massive Operation Portaledge probe. It is believed at least one of them was paid a relatively small sum of just \u00a3300 for getting involved.<\/p>\n

O’Hara and Stewart today pled guilty to four charges of wilful fire-raising. McLaughlin admitted to the same crime for his part in the Carpet Store blaze.<\/p>\n

A judge – previously involved in cases linked to the underworld war waged last year – repeated his remarks these attacks were once again an example of “sheer naked gangsterism”. O’Hara, Stewart, McLaughlin were remanded in custody and will learn their fate in May.<\/p>\n

Police Scotland has arrested over 60 people as part of their Operation Portaledge probe into the gang war and a number of people have already been slapped with lengthy sentences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three men admitted involvement at the High Court in Glasgow.Glasgow factory firebomb video posted with gang warning Footage…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":852750,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7826],"tags":[27813,748,188,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":["post-852749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-glasgow","tag-bishopbriggs","tag-britain","tag-crime","tag-glasgow","tag-great-britain","tag-scotland","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=852749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852749\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/852750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
