Bosses at Arriva Midlands West are looking into the damage caused and say they won't hesitate to prosecute if they can find out who is responsible.

The number 8 bus travelling from Bridgnorth to Telford came under attack near the Silkin Way in Madeley on Wednesday evening when youngsters on a bridge threw a rock at the windscreen. Two other buses were also targeted on the same evening.

Chris Harvey, who drives for Arriva and is also a supervisor, posted a picture of the rock that caused the damage and said:"If anyone has any information this is one of the rocks involved in comparison to my hand before some of you think it's a pebble or a small stone. "We've already assessed one piece of damage at over £1,000 tonight and if caught/charged we will want to prosecute.
