A DRIVER was made to swerve when
a piece of wood was dropped from a footbridge over the A120.
The woman thought she saw a child
or youth drop the small item around 2:30pm on February 23 near the B1417 Rayne
Road.
Police in Braintree are
investigating and are asking parents to ensure that it is not their children
committing this dangerous act.
Officers immediately searched the
area, using both local officers and the force helicopter but no one was found.
Ch Insp Rachel Nolan said: "This is serious, and it is fortunate that this
incident did not result in any injuries.
"These
children may think it is just a game but it is very stupid and dangerous.

not them committing this offence."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at Braintree police station
on 101.
