Slain gangster Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll replaced by new enforcer for "A Team" mob amid gang war
A TikTok page run by the faceless "A Team" claims a new recruit has been brought into the ranks.
Gangland mob the "A Team" have warned their rivals a new enforcer has been recruited to replace slain Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll.
The chilling threat from the Daniel and Richardson outfit came after gangsters Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, and Ross Monaghan, 43, were gunned down at a pub in the Costa Del Sol.
A TikTok page run by the faceless gang has fired a series of insults and threats to the Lyons mob and Dubai-based Ross McGill's Tamo Junto (TMJ) group - which has targeted senior Daniel and Richardson figures for four months.
A message from the "A Team" told rival operatives: 'You allegedly got rid of this man out of total fear. RIP, Gerbil. He would have terrorised you. A real soldier, like our new friend who has replaced him."
In a series of mocking posts they branded former Rangers 'ultra' McGill a 'keyboard gangster' who was engaged in 'school boy' attacks via his TMJ gang.
Another message read: "Take your wannabe joke of a clan and come back when you are all man enough to handle stuff like men."

Feared Daniels enforcer Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll was gunned down in 2010 as he sat in the back seat of an Audi in the Asda car park in Robroyston. The son-in-law of mobster Jamie Daniel, he was known for kidnapping and torturing rival drug dealers in attacks dubbed "alien abductions".
Ross Monaghan was arrested over the shooting but was acquitted after a judge at the High Court in Glasgow ruled there was insufficient evidence to convict him.
William 'Buff' Paterson, 45, was later convicted of the murder in 2015 and sentenced to a minimum of 22 years in prison. Earlier this week the Record revealed that around a dozen senior members from the Daniel clan and Richardson mob had fled Scotland.
An underworld source said: 'Nobody knows exactly where they have gone or how long for but most of them are believed to be in Dubai and the rest are in the Costa del Sol.
'The TMJ gang were watching closely and hoping to catch one of them out in the open but all of a sudden they just upped sticks and left."
The move came after Spanish cops blamed the double execution of Lyons Jnr and pal Ross Monaghan on "an internal member of the Daniel gang".
Boss Steven Lyons is believed to have ordered bloody recriminations from his bolthole in Dubai following the deaths of his brother Eddie and trusted pal Monaghan.
The source added: "Steven Lyons wants serious revenge for the death of his brother and best friend. Steven won't be content or even able to grieve properly until he claims some serious scalps from within the Daniel and Richardson gangs."
Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Houston said: "We have been assisting Spanish colleagues with their investigation into the fatal shootings in Fuengirola.
"We are not aware of any current evidence which suggests the deaths of these two men in Spain are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland being investigated as part of Operation Portaledge."
Michael Riley, 44, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in connection with the shooting in Spain later today. The total number of arrests in connection with the investigation Operation Portaledge is 48.

Edinburgh gang war enforcers warn of 'new wave of attacks' in chilling video
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The mob behind a series of firebombings in Edinburgh have warned of further attacks in a chilling new video. Gangland enforcers have vowed to step up attacks and target those associated with Mark Richardson and the Daniel crime clan as footage of the latest firebombing also featured. The faceless gang waging war on those in Edinburgh and Glasgow on behalf of kingpin Ross McGill issued the warning and insisted they have no social media accounts and never will. They also posted footage of a property on Jackson Way in Tranent on fire after it was targeted on Friday, June 13. As the Record reports, the front door and a window were engulfed in flames. The clip then ends with a warning more attacks will come as they boasted of targeting more than 40 people since March as cars, businesses and homes linked to both Richardson and the Daniels suffered significant damage. They then went on to mock one of Mark Richardson's top associates David McMillan, who was allegedly attacked with machetes by thugs outside his Edinburgh home last month. A warning from the gang read: "Since March, more than 40 people have had their houses, businesses and cars torched. The majority of you have left your homes throughout this period. "David McMillan is one of the few who stayed put, albeit he hired 24/7 security to sit outside his home. Look how that worked out... "You have retaliated against us by creating social media accounts, sending fake stories to the papers and burning the odd car. "TMJ have no social media accounts, never have and never will. We will continue to target you on a regular basis for stealing from us." McGill has been waging war on Mark Richardson's crime mob from Edinburgh and the Daniel clan from Glasgow since March after he was ripped off in a £500,000 cocaine deal when the buyer used fake bank notes. Police Scotland have vowed to crackdown on the violence, and have arrested 48 people in connection with Operation Portaledge.

Netflix star killed in horror hit-and-run as police hunt driver
Police are hunting the driver who left Million Dollar Beach House star Sara Burack for dead. A former star of Netflix's Million Dollar Beach House has tragically died after being struck in a hit-and-run in New York. Sara Burack, 40, was hit by a vehicle in the early hours of Thursday morning in Hampton Bays. The driver fled the scene and, as of Thursday night, has yet to be traced. A police investigation remains ongoing. Sara's body was found just before 3am on Montauk Highway, near the Villa Paul Restaurant. A 911 caller reported seeing a woman lying in the road. Emergency crews rushed to the scene and found her unconscious, with injuries consistent with being hit by a car. She was taken to hospital but died later that day, reports the Mirror. Sara made her name in the luxury property world as an agent for Nest Seekers International — the high-end firm featured in the Netflix reality show following brokers selling multi-million-dollar beach homes in the Hamptons. Although she left the firm over a year ago, colleagues said she remained close to many in the industry. Geoff Gifkins, Hamptons regional manager for Nest Seekers, said: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. This is a tremendous loss.' Friend and fellow agent Paulette Corsair paid tribute to Sara's kindness and dedication. 'She was an amazing person who really cared for people,' she said. 'A hardworking agent who was loved by many and deeply close to her family.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

In interviews, she spoke of her passion for property and how a stint as a summer house manager inspired her career switch. Speaking ahead of Million Dollar Beach House's release, Sara said viewers would be drawn into the glamorous Hamptons lifestyle — from luxury estates to yacht parties and polo matches. Police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward, as friends, colleagues and family grieve the loss of a woman remembered for her warmth, drive and generosity.
