Ice hurled at car from footbridge
Last week we told of young mum Christine Shiels whose car was targed by teens who lay in wait over a footbridge at Lye Brae.
They had dropped a sledload of snow over a bridge, smashing her windscreen in the process. Thankfully Christine and her passenger were unhurt.

Sergeant Alan Coote said this week: “This is a particularly dangerous incident.
“In some instances this type of act can seriously injure or even kill, and I would urge anyone with information about it to come foward.”
He added: “The perpetrator, when caught, will be severely dealt with by the courts.”
Anyone with further information is asked to contact Cumbernauld Police on 503900.
