A woman was sexually assaulted near a park in East Dunbartonshire. The victim, who is 70 years old, was walking near Colquhoun Park in Bearsden when the attack took place at around 5:15 pm on Friday. Police have stepped up patrols, calling it an “imperative” to catch the perpetrator.

The area is a busy one, and although police have already received information from several sources, they have urged witnesses who have not yet come forward to do so.
