YOUTHS are being warned about their snowball-throwing games after a bus window was cracked.

Mischievous youngsters pelted a service bus with snowballs and stones as it passed the Four Lane Ends at Spennymoor at about 11.15am last Friday.

One of the windows in the double-decker was cracked and now police have condemned the horseplay as dangerous.

A spokesperson from Newton Aycliffe police station said: "This is obviously very dangerous given that the passengers could be hit by flying glass if the window should smash.
