A TEAM of detectives investigating a brutal sex attack on a schoolboy are searching through hours of security camera tapes for clues about the crime.
The 13-year-old boy was raped in the town centre multi-storey car park after he was befriended by a pervert in the shopping centre on Saturday evening.
Police are checking CCTV films from stores and shops across the town centre in a bid to identify the attacker.
The man is Asian, in his late 20s, around 5ft 7in, slim, with wavy hair and a small moustache. He is thought to have been wearing a distinctive ring on his forefinger.
Anyone with information should ring Blackburn CID on 01254 51212 or the Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111.
