Gangland feud arrests total reaches 42, Police Scotland say
A spate of violent incidents, including shootings, firebombings and assaults, began in Edinburgh and the east of Scotland in March but spread to the Glasgow region in April and May. Police said in one incident, a home in Milton, Glasgow, was allegedly broken into and a 12-year-old child and a 72-year-old woman were attacked. They were treated in hospital. Targets have included homes and businesses, police previously said. READ MORE: Human rights group loses bid to bring legal action against equalities watchdog Chief Constable Jo Farrell said on May 21 that 35 people had been arrested. On Friday, police revealed a further seven people have since been arrested. In the latest arrest, police executed a warrant during the evening of May 29 and detained a 20-year-old man who was later charged in connection with alleged fire-raising in Glasgow on May 13. He appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on May 30 in connection with the incident in Drumchapel Road, police said. A dedicated team of officers from the Specialist Crime Division, with support from regional divisions across Scotland, are continuing to work together to gather evidence and reassure the public with intelligence-led patrols. The investigation, named Operation Portaledge, has so far seen more than 8000 homes visited and 1600 vehicles stopped as officers continue to gather information. Meanwhile, police this week said there is 'no intelligence' to suggest the deaths of two Scots in a Spanish bar are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland's central belt. The two men, understood to be Eddie Lyons Junior and Ross Monaghan, died after a gunman opened fire outside Monaghans Bar in Fuengirola, Malaga, on Saturday. (Image: Google Mpas) Speaking about Operation Portaledge on Friday, Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Ferry said: 'I want to be clear that violence will not be tolerated, and we will not stop until we bring those responsible to justice. 'We are still following positive lines of inquiry and this arrest (on May 29) highlights our continued resolve to target organised crime. 'The support of our communities remains vital, and I want to again express my sincere thanks to the public for their continued help and information so far. 'If you know anything that could assist our ongoing investigation, please do the right thing and speak to us.' Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0562 of March 21.

Man who filmed children at Barshaw Park walks free after sheriff ruling
Sheriff Sukhwinder Gill ruled there was no criminal intent, describing the incident as a case of "naivety" and granting an absolute discharge. A tourist who was seen filming a small child in a park has walked free from court after a sheriff ruled no criminality had taken place. Janpreet Singh, 29, was confronted by a furious dad after he was spotted taking a video of the youngster at Barshaw Park in Paisley. The man filmed Singh and shared the footage on social media in a bid to identify him, sparking huge concern in the community. Singh had travelled from India to visit his sister who identified him from the video and went to police in March. She told officers he had been making videos to share with family in India. Officers later found the video of the child along with two others showing swans and park scenes. Singh appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court and admitted filming the child. But when he appeared for sentencing, Sheriff Sukhwinder Gill ruled no criminality had taken place and granted Singh an absolute discharge. The rare move means that he will receive no punishment. His lawyer had previously claimed there had been a 'certain level of naivety' involved in what Singh, who spent two nights in custody over the case, was doing. Sheriff Gill told him: "You went to Barshaw Park, you recorded videos and intended to send them to your family in India. "I don't believe there was anything more to it than that. As a consequence of these proceedings you have chosen not to go home. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

"Given the Crown narrative and your explanation as to how the child was recorded by you, I do wonder why you pled guilty to this charge. "I also question why your image was uploaded on social media, which in itself seemed to have caused huge concern in the local community that there was an Asian male in the park who may be a 'paedophile'." The sheriff added: "I was going to admonish you, but I am going to take the unusual and exceptional step, not to proceed to conviction and grant you an absolute discharge. "The reason for that is that I am not satisfied there was any criminality involved here. That is the end of the matter."
