An investigation has been launched after a 15-year-old girl was raped as she walked home in Cumbernauld on Saturday.
It is understood the girl was walking home when she was approached by two men on Beechwood Road shortly before midnight.
Police say that after speaking to the men for a short time, one of them left, and the other attacked the girl, subjecting her to a serious sexual assault.
The teenager was able to make her way home after the attack at which point the police were called.
