Yobs in Aberdour smashed a Fife police van by hurling stones on Monday evening.

In a similar assault in Rosyth, the windscreen of a red Skoda was shattered by violent youths whilst travelling down Queensferry Road at around 7.30pm on the same night.

Police have condemned the attacks and have given a stark warning to those throwing stones at moving vehicles.

A police spokesperson said: "Throwing objects is incredibly dangerous and can easily cause a horrible accident if a car goes off the road."

Police confirmed that they traced two teenage boys who were responsible for the attack on the police van on the same evening. 

The 14-year-old and 15-year-old put the vehicle out of action on Main Street at 5pm. 

Officers also keen to trace those responsible for throwing stones at the red Skoda in Rosyth what was carrying a child at the time of the incident. 

Residents have called for action to curb such anti-social behavior. 

Scottish Transport Minsiter Humza Yousaf said:"If anything is being thrown at a vehicle it doesn't just potentially injure the passangers, it could also cause a catastropic accident."
