Detective Inspector David MacGregor, Divisional Rape Investigation Unit, said: “This was a traumatic attack for this woman and it is critical that we trace the person responsible as soon as possible.
“I would like to reassure the community that our officers are doing everything they can, including an extensive review of CCTV in the area, however, we need help from members of the public who may have vital information to assist with the investigation and therefore we are appealing for these two men to come forward"
“The first man is seen helping the 30 year-old woman shortly after the attack and had walked her to the Riverboat Casino. The second man is seen nearby, and may have witnessed the attack or have information that can help us.
"I would urge these men to come forward.
“Were you in the area late on Monday evening? Did you see anything out of the ordinary? It may have seemed insignificant at the time, but could be vital in helping us find the person responsible.”
Anyone with information should contact Police via 101, quoting incident number 4697 of July 16. Alternatively, contact CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
