The video shows thugs target the window and door of the property

And it appears they eventually gain entry
A video of the brazen assault has been circulated and includes the dance track Find You by German producer and DJ Zedd.
The masked trio pounced on Saturday in Niddrie with one seen battering the door with what looks like a hammer while others burst their way into the house through the living room window.
A source said: 'This gang war is showing no sign of stopping and this latest attack shows what lengths these people are willing to go to.
'It's hard to imagine anything as terrifying as three armed thuss bursting into your home like that.
'It's absolutely shocking to see and the fear is someone will get killed before it gets stopped.'
The sinister clip ends with the logo used by a group known as Tamo Junto said to be headed up by a Dubai-based fugitive out for revenge over a dodgy drug deal.
The Scot has teamed up with other mobsters at home and abroad to target Richardson's associates and anyone with ties to Glasgow's notorious Daniel clan.
The war has been raging for more than two months and cops have nabbed 32 people over firebombings, shootings and murder plots allegedly linked to the chaos.
Sources say the latest house was targeted because the homeowner is connected to Richardson, 37, who is in isolation at HMP Addiewell.
It's not clear if anyone was at home when the gang forced entry while an associate filmed the terrifying ordeal from a getaway car.

It comes days after another maniac mobster was filmed fleeing the scene of a brazen gangland firebomb attack in the capital.
The chilling clip emerged as cops nicked three men over separate alleged murder plots linked to a crime clans' turf war.
An associate filmed the hooded arsonist as he bolted after setting a car ablaze outside the home of David McMillan, 54 - a pal of jailed Richardson.
Flames could be seen rippling around the tyres of the white Range Rover parked in the driveway of a plush property in Edinburgh.

On Friday armed cops from Police Scotland's Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit were pictured bursting their way into properties in the Glasgow area in a series of dramatic swoops.
Two men, aged 31 and 26, were arrested over a conspiracy to murder plot and directing organised crime, while a 36-year-old man was lifted over a kill plot rap.
A man aged 26 was arrested over alleged drug offences and a 57-year-old man was nabbed on a proceeds-of-crime rap.
Another man, 42, was nabbed in Wishaw for alleged involvement in organised crime.
They are all due to appear in court on Monday.
Detective Chief Superintendent David Ferry said: "While the number of incidents has continued to decrease since the start of this investigation, I want to reiterate that violence will not stop until we bring those responsible for this criminality to justice.
"We're working tirelessly to build cases and are following a number of significant lines of inquiry.'
We told how a taxi firm, Deuce Private Hire in Stepps, on the outskirts of Glasgow, was torched on Wednesday amid claims it is linked to the gang war.
Underworld sources claim a Scots fugitive known as Miami is in cahoots with other hoods with links to the Lyons gang - who are longstanding enemies of the Daniels.
