Detectives have said that finding gangs responsible for “reckless acts” of violence in Ediburgh is “paramount”.

Police say they’ve gathered “significant” CCTV footage amid their investigation.

They continue to have a presence in communities where a number of incidents – thought to be gang-related – have taken place in the last three weeks.

They include the discharge of firearms in Niddrie and Pilton, as well as a number of fires.

Locals say it’s “frustrating” while offciers have been performing road and vehicle checks as well as door-to-door enquiries.
