A YOUNG woman was raped in Saltcoats yesterday.
The 24-year-old was attacked on the shore front of Winton Circus shortly after midnight and police are appealing for information.
The male suspect is of medium height and build, and was wearing a dark-coloured short-sleeved t-shirt and a dark-coloured baseball cap.
Detective Inspector Mick Carr, Saltcoats CID, said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area, or were passing by during the time of the attack.
“We know there were people fishing on the shore front, they may have vital information that can help us. Did you see or hear anything out of the ordinary?
“We are also looking for the owner or driver of a silver Volkswagen Transporter that was parked nearby.”
Anyone with information should contact Saltcoats CID via 101, quoting incident number 0191 of Monday, July 23. Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
