"Officers are carrying out inquiries in the area, speaking to those who live and work nearby, as well as checking CCTV.
"We are appealing to anyone who may know anything about either of these incidents, or were out early on Sunday or Monday who have seen anything out of the ordinary in the area, to get in touch with us."
