Search on for Scottish city abduction gang

BBC News:

Detectives have been hunting a gang of three men who abducted a teenage student from a bus stop in the centre of Glasgow on Saturday evening.

The 18-year-old woman was snatched in Cathedral Street and held captive for almost 12 hours.

Strathclyde Police have been seeking three male suspects, described as Asian and in their early 20s.

Police believe the attack was sexually motivated and have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

The woman had just telephoned her father when she was abducted between 1845 GMT and 1930 GMT on Saturday.

The Asian student was waiting for a bus on Cathedral Street, at North Fredrick Street, when a black five-door car with tinted windows stopped and the three men began to speak to her.

She was then grabbed and driven to an unknown location in the city and held overnight at a house, before being driven back to the Cathedral Street area at about 0600 GMT the next day.

A member of the public called an ambulance and the victim was taken to the Royal Infirmary where she was released after treatment for minor injuries.

Det Sgt Gerry McBride said: "From the information we have gained to date I believe that one of the suspects was reluctant to be involved in the abduction and I would appeal directly to this male to come forward.

"We have already identified a number of lines of enquiry and I am confident that we will trace the persons involved.

"However, the area around Cathedral Street would have been busy around the time of the abduction and I would appeal to anyone who may have witnessed a disturbance to come forward."

He added: "I'm satisfied that there has been a sexual motivation of some nature involved in this attack which makes it all the more worrying for us as police officers."
