Disgust as youths spotted hurling bricks onto cars on motorway

Greater Manchester Police have made a stern warning to the 'reckless' youths who have been throwing bricks at cars driving on motorways around the region.
Police say the worrying trend started with a number of incidents on the M60 last year. A woman was forced to stop her car on the hard shoulder after her windscreen was smashed when an object was thrown at her car.
Now, police say there have been a series of incidents of the same nature recently. Officers have warned the offenders that they plan to crackdown on those putting 'multiple lives in unnecessary danger.'

Superintendent Julie Ellison, of GMP’s Specialist Operation Teams, said: “It goes without saying that behaviour such as this is reckless and puts multiple lives in unnecessary danger. Not only can it cause serious damage to vehicles, but even more worryingly, it can result in serious injury to those travelling in the vehicle and potentially cause a devastating collision.
“We already have officers patrolling known locations, who will not hesitate to take action against perpetrators, to ensure that those travelling can do so safely, so I would encourage young people to think about the consequences of a spilt second silly decision or an attempt to show off, that it can have serious consequences for them and others.
"In addition to this, I would also like to appeal to parents. As we move into warmer weather and school holidays approach, I ask that you check what your children are up to, and where they are going, as well as speak with them about the importance of making safe and responsible decisions.”
