Police Warn: Reckless Attacks on Moving Vehicles Won’t Be Tolerated
“Targeting moving vehicles in this way is incredibly reckless behaviour, and it is very fortunate that nobody has been hurt. The damage that has been caused is having a significant impact on drivers, the bus company’s ability to operate a full service, and residents who rely on their local buses,” said Inspector Brian Goodall.
“We are working hard to support victims and the local community by identifying the offenders and fully investigating in order to bring those responsible to justice. This behaviour will not be tolerated by the police.”
