“I’d like to speak to anyone who was in the vicinity around this time and saw the van parked in Firpark Street.
“I’m particularly keen to speak to a man and woman who we believe walked past the vehicle as the assault took place. The woman was wearing a beige coloured raincoat and was pulling a suitcase. The man was wearing a dark suit and carrying a briefcase. It is vital that this man and woman contact police urgently.
