Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE mob working for Dubai-based hood Ross 'Miami' McGill claim they will continue their gang war for 'years to come' in what they say is their final video warning. So-called Tamo Junto (TMJ) - the gang who've claimed responsibility for a wave of attacks on rivals since March - have today released another sinister threat. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The mob work for Dubai-based hood Ross 'Miami' McGill 4 TMJ have today released another sinister threat Credit: Supplied 4 Once again they say their enemies will be targeted Credit: Supplied 4 The message issued to The Scottish Sun today also warns mystery folk behind social media accounts claiming to represent TMJ Credit: Supplied Once again they say their enemies will be targeted but they are bringing an end to the stream of videos recording many of their acts of violence in Edinburgh and Glasgow. It comes as Scotland's top cops issued a warning that forces at home and abroad are working to snare mobstres orchestrating chaos while hiding in foreign lands. The message issued to The Scottish Sun today also warns mystery folk behind social media accounts claiming to represent TMJ. The sinister threat reads: 'As we have stated previously, TMJ do not have any social media accounts. 'We've neer been on TikTok, Instagram or any of these platforms and never will be. 'Social media is for snitches as we've seen over the last few months from the gremlins and their associates. 'Anyone we find creating any accounts under our name will be targeted.' It goes on to issue a dig at cops who have made 50 arrests as part of Operation Portaledge - the crackdown on a raging war that has included firebombings, shooting and attempted murder bids. It adds: 'We will continue our pursuit against the gremlins regardless of Operation Portaledge for many years to come. 'This is the final video we will be releasing. There will never be another video created by TMJ again. Horror moment Scots gangster Ross Monaghan is shot dead by hitman at Spanish pub as staff & punters flee in terror 'Don't steal from us. Don't snitch on us. Don't pretend to be us. Or we will target you relentlessly. TMJ accept no imitations.' The claimed end of the PR campaign comes days after Police Scotland Chief Constable Jo Farrell warned 'we are coming for you'. And on Friday cops said Operation Portaledge, set up to tackle the fresh outbreak of gang violence, had made its 50th arrest.

Significant seizure at Port of Dover could have caused 'untold damage'
A significant haul of firearms, ammunition, ketamine and MDMA has been discovered at the Port of Dover. 20 firearms, 320 rounds of ammunition and 170kg of ketamine were found in a Lithuanian registered heavy goods vehicle which was stopped by Border Force officers on Monday 23rd June. The National Crime Agency estimates the ketamine has a street value of around £4.5 million while the 4,000 MDMA pills are thought to be worth of £40,000. Investigations are being carried out to assess if the firearms are viable pistols. The driver, a 34-year-old Tajikstan national, was arrested on suspicion of smuggling the illegal items but has since been bailed while enquiries continue. NCA senior investigating officer Darren Herbert said: "With thanks to our Border Force colleagues, an arsenal of deadly firearms, as well as harmful drugs, have been seized before they could reach the criminal supply chain. "Our investigation to trace and detain the individuals responsible for the attempted importation is ongoing. "Alongside our domestic and international partners, we are relentless in our efforts to suppress the supply of firearms to UK-based organised crime groups." Border Force Director for South East Region, Dave Smith said: "This is a significant seizure which demonstrates the vital work Border Force officers do every day to keep lethal weapons and dangerous drugs off our streets. "The firearms and drugs intercepted could have caused untold damage to our communities if they had reached their intended destination. "We will continue to work closely with the NCA to bring those responsible to justice and disrupt criminal networks involved in smuggling."

'One of biggest drug hauls in UK history' busted as £96m of cocaine found
Border Force officials have made one of the biggest drug busts in years as 2.4 tonnes of cocaine with a value of almost £100 million has been seized. The huge drug haul was found under containers on a ship arriving into London Gateway port from Panama, a Home Office spokesperson said. Officers detected the shipment earlier this month following an intelligence-led operation. With help from the port operator, officers moved 37 large containers to get to the stash. With a value of £96 million, it marks the sixth-largest cocaine bust since records began. Minister for migration and citizenship Seema Malhotra said: "Drugs gangs trying to import illegal substances into the UK are a blight on society and we will leave no stone left unturned in our pursuit of organised crime gangs inflicting addiction, misery and death upon Britain's communities. "Well done to Border Force Maritime officers on a hugely successful operation, which has struck a major blow against the criminals threatening our country." Cocaine-related deaths in England and Wales rose by 31% between 2022 and 2023, the Home Office said. Border Force Maritime director Charlie Eastaugh said: "This seizure - one of the largest of its kind - is just one example of how dedicated Border Force maritime officers remain one step ahead of the criminal gangs who threaten our security. "Our message to these criminals is clear - more than ever before, we are using intelligence and international law enforcement co-operation to disrupt and dismantle your operations." Elsewhere this week, guns and drugs worth millions were seized when a lorry was stopped at Dover. The National Crime Agency announced officers had seized 20 guns, 320 rounds of ammunition and 170kg of ketamine from a Lithuanian HGV of the Port of Dover. The officers, working with Border Force officials, stopped the lorry on Monday, June 23, with officers also finding 4,000 MDMA pills hidden in the vehicle. NCA investigators have estimated the street value of the ketamine alone would have been around £4.5 million, and £40,000 for the thousands of pills. The guns are yet to be tested by NCA experts but are believed to be viable pistols. The driver, a 34-year-old Tajikstan national, was arrested on suspicion of smuggling the guns and drugs. NCA senior investigating officer Darren Herbert said: "With thanks to our Border Force colleagues, an arsenal of deadly firearms, as well as harmful drugs, have been seized before they could reach the criminal supply chain. "Our investigation to trace and detain the individuals responsible for the attempted importation is ongoing. "Alongside our domestic and international partners, we are relentless in our efforts to suppress the supply of firearms to UK-based organised crime groups." Border Force Director for South East Region, Dave Smith said: "This is a significant seizure which demonstrates the vital work Border Force officers do every day to keep lethal weapons and dangerous drugs off our streets. "The firearms and drugs intercepted could have caused untold damage to our communities if they had reached their intended destination. "We will continue to work closely with the NCA to bring those responsible to justice and disrupt criminal networks involved in smuggling."
