Detectives investigating the rape of a 14-year-old girl in an alleyway in Leeds have released photos of three males they want to track down.

The ‘serious sexual assault’ took place off Chatsworth Road, Harehills, in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: ‘While it is appreciated that the images of the three suspects are low quality, it is hoped someone may recognise the males as a group who were in the area around the time.’

Officers from Leeds District Safeguarding Unit are supporting the victim.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Leeds District Safeguarding Unit via 101 quoting crime reference 13240604436.
