SEVEN robberies were reported to police in just ONE HOUR after a crime spree across the West End of Glasgow last night.
One of the victims who was robbed was rushed to hospital to be treated for serious injuries.
The news comes after the Evening Times exclusively reported how three women were attacked by thugs wielding hammers and knives on a quiet Kelvindale street.

The ladies, who were travelling to a friend’s book club, were mugged outside an address on Cleveden Drive, just yards from Great Western Road, on Monday evening.
A local source said two men, who reportedly jumped out of a car and stopped the women, threatened them with the weapons, before making off in the vehicle.
Social media reports suggest a young boy was also targeted by the attackers near a local bowling club at around the same time.
