WARRINGTON Police are appealing for information after a Castleford rugby league supporters’ bus was damaged last night by a large gang of youths throwing bricks and stones.
The large group of youths blocked the bus on the junction of Dallam Lane and Tanners Lane after last night’s match between Warrington Wolves and Castleford Tigers.
They then threw stones and bricks, while visiting rugby supporters were on board, causing damage to three windows.
The youths are described as white and were all wearing dark-coloured hooded tops.
The incident occurred at around 10 pm on Thursday 17 February shortly after the bus had left the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Sergeant Mark Spaven, from Warrington local policing unit, said: “Thankfully there were no injuries reported however this was a frightening incident for the people who were on board the bus at the time.
“While our enquiries are ongoing to identify the youths responsible I am appealing for anyone with information that could assist with the investigation to come forward.”
