This could have been tragic!

Police want to trace four youths, one of whom threw a stone from a bridge at a passing car. The youths were standing on a bridge over the A75 and a vehicle was damaged it as it travelled along the road at the Cuckoo Bridge in Dumfries.

The incident happened at around 2100 hours on Tuesday 5 July, as a 33 year old man from Newton Stewart was driving his burgundy coloured Subaru Legacy along the westbound carriageway. No-one was injured, but the consequences could have been tragic. The car’s windscreen was slightly damaged in the incident.
