Police are investigating after yobs threw a brick through a bus window in Deal.

Driver Charlie Baker was going past New Sholden Road on his way from Deal to Sandwich at about 8.30pm on Saturday, when the incident occurred.

He alleges three children aged ten to 14 are responsible.

He said: “Luckily I had just dropped off a mother and two young children. I’d hate to think what could have happened.”

The shards of glass covered seats throughout the bus.

Police press officer Natalie Hardy said: “We are investigating a report of criminal damage to a bus in Sholden New Road, Deal at around 8.30pm on Saturday, October 29.

“No injuries were reported and no arrests have been made at this stage. Enquiries are on-going.”

Matthew Maytum, communications officer for Stagecoach South East, said: “I can confirm that a route 13 bus travelling from Deal to Sandwich was hit by a heavy object as it passed by Sholden on Saturday evening. One window was shattered.

“Fortunately the driver had just made a drop off so there were no passengers on board the bus at the time. We’re working very closely with Kent Police who are treating the incident as criminal damage."
