POLICE are continuing their investigations into attacks on buses on a Darlington estate.

Local beat officer PC Jonathan Stoker has a number of new names of suspects involved in throwing stones at buses, resulting in some service being temporarily withdrawn due to safety fears.

He went into the primary school on the estate on Friday to speak to children about the attacks.

"It went really well. It meant I could speak to them all about the dangers of tampering with buses and throwing things at them," he said.

"But we now also have around a dozen new names of children, aged six to 14, who we want to speak to about the attacks on the buses.

"We are also working with the council's tenancy enforcement officer on this, who will also be speaking to the parents of the children involved."

Anyone with information about the attacks on buses on the Red Hall estate is asked to contact the police on (01325) 467681.
