Gang feud ends after police crackdown and 'resolution of differences'

Police reported that a six-month gang feud across central Scotland ended after dozens of arrests and a resolution between rival groups.

• Police Scotland recorded 84 incidents of violence and disorder, arrested 64 people, and executed 55 search and arrest warrants.
• The force recovered seven firearms and assorted weapons, and implemented over 90 safeguarding plans for vulnerable individuals.
• A Police Scotland report attributed the downturn to multiple factors including "the resolution of differences within the serious and organised crime community" and police disruption efforts.
• The feud saw a resurgence in early 2026, resulting in 10 further incidents and five additional arrests, with investigations ongoing.
