Shootings Linked To Gangland Feud
Police say a major investigation is now underway into a deepening gangland feud in Edinburgh. Over the last two weeks, shots have been fired at two houses and a Range Rover. There have been shootings, threats and intimidation - all in and around Gilmerton. It began on September 9th when shots were fired at a house on Fernieside Avenue, in the Moredun area. Then over the weekend, a gunman on a motorbike opened fire on a Range Rover in The Murray's Brae, Gilmerton, and what's believed to have been a fake bomb was left at the scene. Soon afterwards there was gunfire on Gilmerton Dykes Drive and another suspicious device was left at Walter Scott Avenue. Officers believe the answers to their investigation lie within the local community. Detective Superintendent David Gordon tells Forth News reporter Bryan Rutherford that the Organised Crime Unit has launched a major investigation.
