Police in Belfast are hunting two men who were involved in two serious sexual assaults on a 15-year-old girl overnight.
The girl was with a group of three male friends along Blacks Road last night when they were accosted by two men armed with a screwdriver and a metal bar.
The four were robbed of their mobile phones and money before the girl was dragged by one of the men onto the forecourt of a garage and raped.
The boys, two 15-year-olds and one aged 14, were ordered to strip to the waist and beaten repeatedly when they tried to rescue her.
They were all then taken up a driveway at the nearby Colin Valley Golf Centre where the girl was raped again.
PSNI Chief Superintendent Ken Henning described the attack as horrendous and disgraceful. "It has caused untold distress to the victims and their families," he said.
"The individuals who carried out the attack took her mobile phone, rang her mother and told her what they had done," Mr Henning added.
Detectives have urged the rapist and his accomplice, both thought to be in their late teens, to give themselves up. Their families were also challenged to bring them to a police station if they suspected their involvement.
Detectives have been told the man with the iron bar claimed to be called Terry from the Divis area of west Belfast. The rapist is believed to be five feet, eight inches tall, with a cut under his left eye and chipped and decaying teeth. His partner's left ear was pierced and he wore at least one sovereign-type ring.
