Thug used metal detector to search for weapon during gangland turf war
Daily Record
|November 21, 2025
A GANGSTER who used a metal detector to try to find a hidden gun during recent mob wars has been jailed for nearly seven years.
Liam McDermid, 25, used the device to try to secure the Glock pistol which had been hidden in undergrowth at Edinburgh's Roseburn cycle path.
The High Court in the capital heard how the weapon - and multiple rounds of lethal 9mm ammunition - was recovered by police in June, close to the nursery and junior buildings of St George's School.
Thug McDermid, from Edinburgh, was seen on the path six days earlier with the metal detector.
