A man has been detained after a 14-year-old girl was dragged into bushes and raped outside an Asda supermarket.

The victim had been out cycling when she went to the shop off Main Street in Barrhead, East Renfrewshire, at about 8.15pm on Sunday.

A man attacked her after she left the shop and began walking back to get her bike.

STV News understands police investigating the crime have now detained a man.

Officers have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

Speaking on Monday, detective inspector Gillian Patrick said: "This was a particularly traumatic experience for the young girl concerned, who had been out in the local area before being attacked.

"I would like to reassure the local community that we are continuing extensive enquiries into this incident.

"We know the man was in the shop prior to the incident taking place and I am appealing to anyone who may have been shopping around that time to think about whether they may have seen this man or noticed anything suspicious.

"If you have any information or knowledge about this crime, please talk to officers and pass it on - it could prove vital in helping us trace the man responsible for this attack.

"I'm aware this incident will be of concern to people and I would like to confirm that additional patrols will be in the area to offer reassurance to local people and if anyone has any concerns, please speak to officers."
