Police have launched an investigation after two men attempted to entice a 14-year-old girl walking with friends to get into a car.
The incident is believed to have happened between 2.45pm and 3.45pm on Wednesday June 22 at Harvie Avenue in Newton Mearns.
Authorities say the girl had been waiting at a bus stop but started to walk when the bus didn't arrive, when the men who were in a red Vauxhall Meriva appeared.
Driving beside the teen as she walked, one of the passengers tried to persuade her to get in the vehicle while both shouted comments at her.
The schoolgirl reported the incident to police who say she was 'very distressed and upset' by the unwanted attention.
Police Scotland are appealing for information to trace the two men with one being described as aged between 30-36 years old, with a slim build, black hair, unkempt black beard and brown eyes.
He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with white writing and black jogging trousers covered in paint splashes.
The second man is described as being around 19-year-old, with a slim build, dark brown or black unkempt hair and a thick dark-coloured moustache.
He was last seen wearing a dark-coloured, possibly black, jacket.
Extensive enquires are under way and police believe the men may have been working in Harvie Avenue for the last seven to ten days.
Constable Heather Cameron said: “Unwarranted attention from men can be extremely distressing. I am appealing to anyone who lives in the Harvie Avenue area, who may have seen these men working in the area. In particular, any motorists with dash cams are asked to check their footage as they may have captured images of the men or the Vauxhall car and these images could prove vital for us.
“I would also like to add that if anyone else has been approached or shouted at by these two men, then please do contact us. Your information could prove the vital link we need to identify and arrest the men responsible.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 2295 of 22 June 2022. Alternatively, please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
