Police are appealing for information following a serious sexual assault of an 18-year old woman in Fife.
Detectives have confirmed they are continuing enquiries after the woman was assaulted in Kelty on Monday night.
At around 11.15pm, the woman was found in Limepark Crescent and disclosed to officers she had been attacked shortly before within a car at an unknown location in the Kelty area.
The suspect was driving a car and is described as having a tanned complexion, dark hair and a dark beard.
At present, Fife police have stated that they have no further information on the vehicle but are in the process of examining CCTV footage for any additional information it could provide.
Detective Inspector Kelly McEwan said: “The incident occurred between 10.55pm and 11.15pm approximately, and the victim had previously been in the area of Main Street, Kelty. I am appealing to members of the public who were in the area who may have seen something which could be significant to us.
“In particular, I would ask taxi drivers and motorists with dash cams to check their footage. It’s possible they have captured images of the vehicle which could prove vital in our enquiries.
"I am also appealing for the driver of a dark coloured car seen in the area of Seafar Drive, Blairadam Crescent and Limepark Crescent about 11.15pm to come forward as they may be a crucial witness.
