POLICE in Blackwood are appealing for information about two incidents of criminal damage to buses in the area.
At around 5.40pm on Wednesday, November 7, officers were called after a group of teenagers deliberately kicked a football at the front windscreen of a Stagecoach bus on Penllwyn Lane, Pontllanfraith.
A large crack was caused to the windscreen of the bus, while another Stagecoach bus windscreen was cracked during a second incident at around 10.45pm on Bryn Road, near the Bird In Hand pub, Pontllanfraith.
Inspector Mark Smith, of Blackwood Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "We are increasing our patrols in the area and are making enquiries to identify those responsible for these incidents.
"Throwing or kicking objects at moving vehicles is extremely dangerous and risks causing serious injury to other people.
"I would urge anyone with information on these incidents to call Gwent Police."
Call 101 if you have any information or saw anything suspicious.
