COP MACHETE CRACKDOWN

POLICE have launched a major crackdown against two gangs locked in a violent feud following a series of machete attacks.

A special team has been assembled to target the hoods amid fears of an escalating war on the streets of Edinburgh.

Officers are carrying out visits to the homes of gang members they believe are under threat.

The conflict has escalated in recent weeks.

Ryan Brown had a hand chopped off with a machete in a gruesome assault in the city's West Pilton area on January 5. The 28-year-old, who sources said was not a gang member, had to undergo a 12-hour operation to reattach the severed limb.
