Overview
- Logan Carlin, 24, was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh after admitting two counts of wilful fireraising.
- He hurled bottles of accelerant into the Belle Cheveux salon on Albert Street on March 6, 2025, then targeted DB Auto Services on Milton Road East 10 days later.
- Lord Summers said the attacks posed mortal danger to residents and were linked to serious organised crime with an intent to intimidate.
- Forensic evidence tied Carlin to both scenes, including DNA on the salon windowsill and at the second site and in a white Ford abandoned with false plates.
- The term was backdated to April 8, 2025, as Police Scotland’s Operation Portaledge continues its wider inquiry, with 63 arrests reported.
