Police have arrested a man in connection to a series of online videos which appear to show women being filmed on Glasgow streets without their permission.
Footage shared on a YouTube channel appeared to show a man approaching and filming women in shopping malls, nightclubs and on the street of Glasgow.
Viewers were urged to "master masculine qualities", and offered coaching on how to "interact with hot girls".
Police have confirmed they were investigating the 'shameful and unacceptable' behaviour after it was reported on Thursday.
A 37-year-old man has now been arrested in connection with an ongoing investigation into videos posted online.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "A 37-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an ongoing inquiry into videos posted online."
The force previously said: "We are aware of the videos posted online, offering advice and guidance on how to 'pick up' the opposite sex, particularly young women.
"This type of predatory behaviour is shameful and unacceptable and will undoubtedly cause significant fear and alarm. No-one should be subjected to this.
"We are investigating but our enquiries are at a very early stage."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
