A fierce gangland war has erupted across British cities, exemplified by a series of arson attacks, including the recent firebombing of a carpet factory linked to the Daniel crime family in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow.

Footage of the fire at Carpet and Flooring shows flames engulfing the property while a threatening message was broadcast, warning rival gangs that all associates and properties will be targeted.

In response to the escalating violence, police conducted raids in early April, arresting four individuals and seizing a stolen vehicle as part of their efforts to manage the violent feud.

The situation remains dire, with police and emergency services struggling to manage the aftermath of these violent gang conflicts, leaving communities in fear.

Sources indicate that tensions escalated after associates of mobster Mark Richardson, now operating from Dubai, allegedly stole cocaine from another criminal syndicate, igniting further conflicts.

The violence has spread from Edinburgh to Glasgow, involving multiple attacks with gangs using both firebombs and firearms to assert their dominance.

March saw numerous incidents, including a molotov cocktail attack on a beauty salon in Edinburgh and a warehouse fire in Musselburgh, marking the beginning of this violent escalation.

Craig 'Rob Roy' Gallagher, an associate of the Daniel clan and recently imprisoned for an axe attack related to the gang feud, is linked to the torched factory.

Prison authorities are on high alert for potential violence among inmates connected to the gangs, with concerns that conflicts may spill over into the penal system.

The situation is described as chaotic, with videos online showing attacks and threatening messages directed at the Daniel clan, urging them to leave Scotland.

By early April, the conflict had resulted in multiple properties being targeted by arsonists, with the fire at the carpet factory being just one of several attacks that week.

Violence within prisons is anticipated, as high-profile criminals like Jamie 'Iceman' Stevenson reportedly seek transfers due to increased risks of conflict.
