Three men sought by police after teenagers sexually assaulted in Barnsley

Police are seeking to identify three men in connection with the rape of a teenage girl and the sexual assault of another in Barnsley.

The investigation has been transferred to South Yorkshire Police from the West Yorkshire force, as both victims and perpetrators are thought to have travelled to the Locke Park car park in Barnsley from Wakefield.

Investigators think a large number of people had access to the vehicle on February 14 last year; the date of the attack.

The owner of the car and several other people have already been questioned and released without charged, based on DNA analysis.

Officers have now released CCTV images of three men they're trying to trace.

Detective Constable Paul Jones, the officer in charge of the case for South Yorkshire Police, said:

"We have undertaken a lot of investigative work since this investigation was transferred to us from West Yorkshire Police.

"This includes extensive CCTV trawls, suspect interviews, DNA analysis, and other forensic work.

“While these CCTV images are not as clear as we would like, we are hoping that those pictured or someone who knows them will recognise them and contact us to assist us with our enquiries."
