Police are hunting for a group of yobs after a spate of attacks on buses.

Passengers have been left terrified after the incidents around Singleton and Kennigton, where objects have been thrown at the windows, causing them to smash.

Five attacks have been reported to police in recent weeks on November 13, November 27, December 2, December 29 and January 1.

They happened between 1pm and 6.25pm in Singleton Hill, Knoll Lane and Towers View.

KentOnline reported on one incident last month, in Cuckoo Lane, where passengers described a bus being pelted with rocks by yobs hidden in darkness.

Describing the attack on Facebook, one passenger wrote: "I was on the bus with my six-year-old, the driver and another passenger. None of us were hurt, but it was pretty scary.

"The kids were standing in the shadows of the woods along that road and it was dark out, so no descriptions could be given to the police.

"The other lady was freaked out and chose to get off the bus and walk home. I got off and waited for the next bus to come along. Just glad no one was hurt, it could have been a lot worse."

Another passenger added posted: "I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like this happen before, it was literally like something out of a film.

"It sickens me even more that there was a child on the bus, we were lucky that we weren’t on that side of the window."

Stagecoach spokesman Matthew Maytum confirmed no one was hurt in the incident and said the company was working with police.

Sergeant Jasmine Bloomfield, from the Community Safety Unit (CSU), said: "We’re keen to trace the youngsters who are doing this as their actions are extremely dangerous and they need to be stopped."

Anyone with information that may help is asked to contact the CSU on 01842 222289. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
