Police car window shattered after missile thrown in Marsh Farm

At around 10.40pm on Friday, July 31, an armed police car was travelling along Wauluds Bank Drive towards Arrow Close when a flying missile shattered the rear window.

Officers believe the object was thrown deliberately to cause maximum damage.

Detective Constable Kimberley Anderson said: “This is an extremely upsetting incident. Targeting a moving vehicle is extremely dangerous and can have tragic consequences.

“Deliberately aiming to damage a police vehicle with police officers inside is completely unacceptable. Officers are carrying out their duties to the public and working to keep the community safe.

“We won’t tolerate this kind of behaviour and we are keen to speak to anyone who have seen anyone in the area at the time or have information about this incident.”

Anyone who witnesses this incident is asked to contact police on 101 or via their online reporting website.
