Six arrested as police investigate suspected gang feud

Six people have been arrested as investigations continue into incidents police believe may be linked to a suspected gang feud.

Officers from Police Scotland’s Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit executed warrants and searched six properties in the Barlanark, Maryhill and Hamiltonhill areas of Glasgow, and in the Milton of Campsie and Wishaw areas on Friday. Firearms officers also assisted.

It comes as investigations continue into a series of violent incidents across the east and west of the country.

Police said that in Glasgow, two men aged 31 and 26 were arrested in connection with alleged conspiracy to murder and allegedly directing serious and organised crime.

A 36-year-old man was also arrested in connection with alleged conspiracy to murder.

A 26-year-old man was arrested in connection with alleged drug offences and a 57-year-old man was arrested in connection with alleged proceeds of crime offences.

In Wishaw, a 42-year-old man was arrested in connection with alleged involvement in serious and organised crime.

Police said class B drugs and around £46,000 in cash were also seized during the operation.

It brings the total number of arrests made during the investigation to 32.

Detective Chief Superintendent David Ferry said: “These arrests continue to highlight the hard work and dedication of officers to target those responsible for these attacks.

“While the number of incidents has continued to decrease since the start of this investigation, I want to reiterate that violence will not be tolerated and will not stop until we bring those responsible for this criminality to justice.

“We are working tirelessly to build cases and are following a number of significant lines of inquiry.

“The support of our communities is absolutely vital when it comes to tackling serious organised crime, preventing violence and getting justice for victims, and I want to again thank the public for their help and information so far.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0562 of Friday March 21, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
