Police have increased patrols in a village where ‘reckless’ youths have been throwing objects at buses.
On December 5, Trent Barton stopped serving part of Cotmanhay near Ilkeston and withdrew two bus services from 6pm until the last journey of the evening as objects were thrown at three buses.
Youths were said to be throwing objects from Cotmanhay Road, near Granby Park. It follows reports from March this year, when yobs were said to be hiding behind a hedge at the same location and throwing bags of dog faeces and stones at passing cars.
