A HUNT has been launched for a group of teenagers after stones and mud were thrown at houses and cars in Hereford.

Police in Hereford are searching for the youths after receiving reports from people in Bobblestock during the evenings.

A spokesperson for the Hereford Northside safer neighbourhood team, PCSO Julie Slatter, said youths aged 12 to 15 have been targeting residents' cars and properties.

They are reported to have thrown stones and mud, and to have been "verbally abusive when challenged".
