The car, understood to be a Range Rover, has been pictured completely burnt out on Monday morning in the capital's Campion Road.
A plush motor outside the home of an associate of Mark Richardson has been firebombed, in what is believed to be another attack linked to the ongoing gang wars.
The car, understood to be a Range Rover, was seen completely burnt out on Monday morning, in the capital's Campion Road. Police have taped off the street as they probe the cause of fire, Edinburgh Live reports.
‌
It is understood the car was burned outside a home belonging to a pal of caged Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson.
‌
This comes after a home on the street was targeted on May 10. A local resident told us: "I was leaving for work street was all shut at 6am with police and fire brigade.
A second resident added: "There is still a really strong smell of burning in the air.
"It looks like the car exploded as there is barely anything left of it and there is just rubble on the street and outside homes. It doesn't look like any other cars were affected but it was right next to several.
"Police have taped off part of the street and look like they're waiting for someone else to arrive at the scene."
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "We attended after the initial call at 3.56am, we sent two appliances. We left the scene at 6.22am."
Police Scotland have been approached for comment.
