POLICE have condemned the actions of youths who threw a brick at the rear window of a moving bus.

The window of the single decker was smashed while the bus was travelling along Cambridge Street, in Spennymoor, on Wednesday.

There were a handful of passengers travelling on the bus, at 9.15pm, but no one was injured.

Detective Constable Walter Hirst, of Newton Aycliffe Police, said: "It's obviously very dangerous throwing bricks at moving buses, not only for the passengers and driver, but also for any pedestrians who could have been endangered by this stupid action."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on (01325) 314401.
