A TEENAGE girl from Richmond was sexually assaulted at gun point after accepting a lift from two men.

The 19-year-old was offered a lift while she waited for a bus home in Clarence Street, Kingston, on July 15 at around 2.30am, having spent the night out with friends at Oceana night club. The driver pulled up in a two door red sports coupe with black leather seats and another male was sitting in the front passenger seat.

The victim sat in the back of the car and the driver dropped the passenger off near Currie's roundabout, at the junction of Whitton Road and Chertsey Road, Twickenham. She was then taken to a car park in Bell Road, Hounslow, where the man produced a handgun and seriously sexually assaulted her. He then made off.

A police car was flagged down by the girl shortly after in Hounslow town centre. The suspect is described as a male of Asian appearance aged about 19 to 20 with dark brown short spiked hair, spiked forward, and brown eyes.

The passenger is described as being a light skinned mixed race male aged about 20 and wearing very thin rimmed glasses. Police are appealing for any witnesses at either Kingston, Twickenham or Hounslow to come forward.

They are also appealing to the passenger who was dropped off by the suspect in Twickenham.

Anyone with information should phone Hounslow police on 020 8247 6363.
