Two more arrests have been made in connection with a gangland feud across central Scotland, taking the total number of arrests to 44.
Police Scotland launched Operation Portaledge in response to a series of assaults, shootings and firebombing incidents in Glasgow and Edinburgh since March.
The force said a 25-year-old man was arrested and charged after a firearm was recovered from Roseburn Path in Edinburgh on Wednesday.
Officers also arrested a 22-year-old man in connection with fire-raising of a vehicle on Peacocktail Close in Edinburgh on 16 May.
Meanwhile, a 21-year-old man has been reported to the procurator fiscal in connection with wilful fire-raisings at two properties in Glasgow and one in Shotts, North Lanarkshire, in April.
Officers also executed warrants at addresses in South Queensferry and Edinburgh on Friday.
Det Ch Sup Dave Ferry said police are continuing to follow a number of lines of positive inquiry and thanked local communities for their support.
He added: “Our continued activity and arrests show our commitment to targeting organised crime and bringing those responsible to justice.”
More than 8,000 homes have been visited and over 1,600 vehicles stopped as part of the current investigation.
