YOBS smashed the window of a moving car with a child inside. Three adults and a child had been in a Ford Focus in Green Lane, Eastwood, when an object was lobbed at the side window.

It happened just as the car passed Scott Park soon after 5pm on Monday, November 28.

Luckly, no-one was injured.

This follows two similar incidents in Eastwood over recent weeks where windows on moving buses were smashed by youths.

PC Louise Wilson, of Eastwood Police, said: “We are working with local schools to try and identify those responsible. "It is extremely fortunate that no-one has been hurt so far by the thoughtless actions of the offenders and I am very keen to identify and speak to them as soon as possible so we can help prevent further similar incidents from taking place.

“I would ask parents of teenagers who hang around in Eastwood to talk to their children about these offences and the potentially dangerous outcome of throwing anything at a moving vehicle. "The suspects are likely to be bragging about what they have done, so if your child has any idea who is responsible for these offences, please urge them to contact us.”

PC Wilson can be contacted at Eastwood police office on 101.
