The four assailants approached the teenagers brandishing a knife and forced them into the back of the Royal Hotel car park. They were then assaulted and had items of clothing stolen.
The incident continued with the girls been brought down to the Dargle end of 'Peoples Park' were they were eventually left alone after their assailants ran out of the park in the direction of a local estate.
