Police are appealing for information after a spate of stone-throwing incidents on the A174 last night put motorists lives at risk.

Between 8.30pm and 10.00pm four incidents were reported to police of youths throwing stones at vehicles from one of the bridges over the A174 at Ormesby Grange.  At least one of the occupants of a car was cut by broken glass from the windscreen.

Inspector Chris Barker said police utilised the helicopter and a number of units were deployed on the ground to search for the offenders who foolishly and recklessly put motorists’ lives in danger.  He said: "I am appealing to members of the public who may know who these individuals are to get in touch.  Irresponsible behaviour such as this may seem like a prank to youngsters but it can have very serious consequences.

"There will be additional uniformed and plain-clothed officers in the area over the coming nights in an attempt to catch those responsible and to prevent further incidents."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Insp Barker on 101
