Police continue appeal one week after girl was seriously sexually assaulted

Police are continuing their appeal for information a week after a 16-year-old girl was seriously sexually assaulted in Paisley.

Officers visited the scene last night from 7pm, exactly one week after the attack.

The incident happened between 7pm and 9.30pm on Saturday, 20 March, 2021, in a wooded area behind Dykebar Hospital, off of Grahamston Road.

The victim was found by a passing motorist on nearby Hurlet Road.

The two male suspects are described as white, Scottish, aged early 20s and were wearing dark clothing. One man was around 5ft 9ins tall and the other was around 6ft tall.

Detective Inspector Colin MacRitchie from 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 saw anything significant, no matter how small you may think this is, please contact 101 quoting reference number 4478 of 20 March to speak to local officers.

"Alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% confidential.”
