Hunt for two men who raped 16-year-old as Paisley cops revisit scene week on from 'terrifying' ordeal

Police returned to the spot where a 16-year-old was raped a week ago to try and jog the memories of potential witnesses.

The teenage girl was found by a passing driver close to the spot near Dykebar Hospital in Paisley following a "terrifying" ordeal in a nearby wooded area.

Detectives are hunting two men in their early 20s in connection with the incident, and appealed to the public to help identify them.

Both men are Scottish and were wearing dark clothes.

One is around 5ft 9ins in height and the other 6ft.

The attack happened between 7pm and 9.30pm on Saturday, March 20 and the victim was found on Hurlet Road.

Detective Inspector Colin MacRitchie, Paisley CID, said: "Officers revisited the scene last night from 7pm, precisely one week on from the attack.

"We are keen to jog people’s memories and have been speaking to locals to seek any new information. It’s important that we identify the people responsible for this as soon as possible.

“The ordeal was terrifying for the victim and we continue to provide her with the necessary support she requires."

If you can help call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
