Summary
Three sex attacks reported over the weekend in Glasgow and nearby Coatbridge are being investigated separately, with Police Scotland saying each case is currently treated as unlinked.
At 3.20am on Saturday, officers were called to Virginia Place in Glasgow city centre after a woman was sexually assaulted; police cordoned off the lane for forensic work and said it appears to have been an isolated attack.
At 9.10pm on Friday, a 16-year-old girl was seriously sexually assaulted in Springburn Park, where specialist officers are supporting the victim and police have kept a visible presence during extensive enquiries.
Around 1am in Coatbridge, a teenager was assaulted near Blair Road and Auldhame Street; detectives described the suspect as a white man with dark hair wearing a padded jacket and dark trousers, and appealed for CCTV and dashcam footage.
Police urged anyone with information on the Springburn or Coatbridge attacks to contact 101, as the three investigations continue across the weekend incidents.
