Steven "Bonzo" Daniel back in dock over organised crime offences
Alleged Scots gang boss Steven "Bonzo" Daniel has appeared in court for a second time over organised crime offences.
The 46-year-old, said to be head of the Daniel crime clan, was arrested by Police Scotland following dawn raids last month.
And he made his second appearance in connection with the case at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday, September 4, 2026.
He faced five charges during the private hearing - one of agreeing to become involved in serious organised crime, and four alleged drugs offences.
Also known as Steven Peebles, he is accused of three charges of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.
The final drugs charge he faces alleges that he was involved in the production of controlled drugs.
He made no plea to the charges during the behind-closed-doors hearing where he was fully committed for trial.
Daniel was remanded in custody during the hearing, which came eight days after he first appeared in court in connection with the case.
He had been arrested at his home in Glasgow's Robroyston area on the morning of Wednesday, August 26, 2026, after officers swooped on the property.
Another man arrested as part of the same police probe also made his second court appearance on Friday.
Steven Gordon was arrested in Glasgow's Garthamlock area around the same time on the same day.
The 38-year-old is accused of four charges - agreeing with another to become involved in serious organised crime, being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs, conspiracy to murder, and illegal possession of a handgun, shotgun and bullets.
Gordon also made no plea to the charges against him and was also remanded in custody during Friday's hearing.
He is accused of "tracking" a "mystery" target he planned to have killed and “trying to recruit others to get involved, arranging transport and working out how to avoid the police”.
No future court dates have been set for either man.
At the time of their arrests, Assistant Chief Constable David Ferry said: “The Chief Constable has made it clear that those intent on being involved in serious and organised crime will be brought to justice. This enforcement action underlines that commitment.
“We will continue to take strong action and to use every tool and tactic available to relentlessly pursue those involved in serious criminality who seek to profit from the harm and misery they cause to communities in Scotland.
“We do need the support of our communities to do this. Anyone with information about serious and organised crime is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101.
“Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.”
