The white woman police are seeking is aged around 16 to 17-years-old, 5ft 7in tall and described by police as "of a heavy build".

She had dark blonde hair tied up in a ponytail and may have had a tooth missing and was wearing a long sleeved grey top and grey jogging bottoms.

The victims were approached as they walked along McKenzie Way at around 5pm on Tuesday, August 18, from the Grove Close direction.

After the attack, a white man shouted abuse at them. He is described as 5ft 8in, skinny with very short blonde hair, wearing grey trousers, a short sleeved white shirt and trainers.

Detective Sergeant Natalie Pearce said: “We are still actively investigating this offence and we are determined to find those responsible for this vicious attack.

“Following interviews with the second victim we have been able to produce a further image of a woman we would like to speak to."
