AN APPEAL has been launched after a 'large brick' was thrown at a police car over the Bank Holiday weekend.

North Wales Police took to social media to say officers were simply 'going about their duty' when there was a 'brick to the side of the car'.

The incident occurred on Ruthin Road near the A483.

A spokesman for the North Wales Police Intercept Team said on social media: "Today a large brick was mindlessly thrown at one of our cars and another local police vehicle. The officers were simply going about their duty then BOOM, brick to the side of the car.

"The damage may not look severe but if this was a passenger window or windscreen it could have been a different story.

"If anyone was driving along RUTHIN ROAD this afternoon near the large gathering of trees close to the A483 and were also subject to this act of Criminal Damage, please get in touch.

"If you have any dash camera footage as you were passing then please let us know.

"Please share this far and wide so everyone that may have been in the area can help us out.

"(No funny hash tags or sarcasm today as quite frankly, this just isn’t funny)."
