Police hunt for sex beast after man posing as taxi driver attacks teenager on night-out THE attacker drive the victim to a Tesco car park in Dumfries where he subjected her to a serious sexual assault. DETECTIVES are hunting a sex beast who raped a woman after posing as a taxi driver.
The 19-year-old victim had been on a night out in Dumfries when she flagged down what she believed to be a private hire.
But the driver of the silver saloon took her a Tesco car park in the Hardthorn area and subjected her to a serious sexual assault.
Police Scotland said the woman was picked up in the early hours of Sunday.
Detective Inspector Fiona Bell said officers are studying CCTV footage in a bid to catch the predator.
She said: “I am appealing to anyone who has any information regarding this crime, in particular anyone who may have noticed the car.
“If you think you may have seen it during the evening or have any knowledge of the crime, then please do get in touch with us.
“A small piece of information could aid the investigation and lead officers to tracing the man responsible for this attack.”
Bell said there will also be additional patrols in the area in a bid to reassure the local community.
The suspect is described as Asian, in his late 20s to early 30s, and of medium height and build.
He was wearing a dark T-shirt and jeans.
Police said the man did not have a local accent.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Dumfries Police Office on the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
