A teenager was raped by a man she thought was a taxi driver.

Mohammed Maqsood attacked the 18-year-old at 12.05am on December 5 last year.

She got into a car after a night out with friends in Shawlands, Glasgow, before he raped her near Eastwood Crescent in Thornliebank, East Renfrewshire.

Maqsood, of Pollokshaws, was found guilty at the High Court in Glasgow.

Officers have described the attack as "appalling".

Detective inspector Graeme McLachlan said: "Maqsood targeted this young woman who had simply been enjoying a night out with her friends.

"Despite her appalling ordeal, she had the courage to speak out about what happened to her and I would like to thank her for her bravery in reporting this to police and having the courage to provide her evidence in court.

"We are resolutely committed to supporting victims of sexual crimes and investigating those responsible by bringing them to justice."
