A MAN has been arrested in connection with a spate of robberies in Glasgow.
The 20-year-old is now in police custody after the four incidents which happened on Tuesday and Wednesday.
In the first robbery, it is alleged a 22-year-old woman’s bag was stolen in Beaconsfield Road at around 3.30pm on Tuesday.
Police said she suffered a minor injury but did not require treatment.
It is then alleged that an 18-year-old was robbed in Armadale Street at around 6.25pm on the same day.
She was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment for a minor injury.
Later that day, at 9.25pm, a 28-year-old woman was allegedly robbed of her bag at Great Western Road, close to St Georges Cross. She sustained a minor injury but did not need treatment.
The final incident occurred at midnight when a 47-year-old woman was allegedly robbed of her handbag outside Tesco Extra, at Dalmarnock Road. She was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University hospital and released after treatment.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “A 20 year old man has been arrested and is presently detained in police custody in connection with all four incidents.
“A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
He is due in court today.
