A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We are investigating a report of the sexual assault of a woman which occurred In Virginia Place, Glasgow, around 3.20am on Saturday, 27 June 2026.
“Enquiries are at an early stage to establish the full circumstances.”
It comes after Glasgow City Council refused any responsibility in lighting privately owned lanes.
We previously reported that Councillor Christy Mearns took umbrage with this stance, insisting that private lanes are used by far more than just those who own them and there remains a "duty of care".
