He confirmed that there were no suspects arrested during the two rock throwing incidents and no person injured and no damage to the vehicle.

The vehicles are very expensive assets and they are there to help provide services to the people.

“This is unprofessional behaviour toward police officers whilst performing their official duties,” said Pogeava.
