A police officer has warned lives have been put at risk after a group of young people threw stones and flashed lights at cars on a busy Norfolk road.

Six cars were damaged in Swaffham on the night of Wednesday, November 7.

Norfolk police are appealing for anyone with information about those responsible to come forward.

Between 6.38pm and 7.23pm police received seven calls in relation to a group throwing stones from an overpass onto the A1065.

They were also seen to shine bright lights in the direction of road users.

Breckland engagement officer Paula Gilluley said: 'Anti-social behaviour and crime as dangerous as this could have had fatal consequences and we won't tolerate it. We will continue to work with our partner agencies and deal robustly with any people identified as being involved in last night's incidents.'
