Four males have been arrested and charged following the assault and robbery of three women in the Viewcraigs area of Edinburgh last week.
During one incident victims were threatened with a knife.
A 16-year-old appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on the 7th of April and has been remanded in custody, while three juveniles have been bailed to appear at a later date.
Chief Inspector Chris Scobbie, Local Area Commander for South Edinburgh said: “I would like to thank the public for their assistance in this matter, our officers have worked diligently to identify those involved in these incidents and to ensure the community are provided with reassurance.
“Crimes of this nature are rare, however I would like to reiterate that my officers are continuing to patrol the area where these crimes took place in order to provide additional reassurance.”
