The first incident took place on Thursday January 24 when a 23-year-old was followed along Great Western Road into a common close.

One week later on January 31, a 19-year-old woman was followed into the close of a block of flats on Arlington Street.

Then three days later, a 20-year-old woman was followed into flats in Kersland Street and allegedly assaulted.
