Ms Haigh, who is the Sheffield Heeley MP, said: “Residents will be extremely worried that over the weekend there have been reports of stones and glass bottles being thrown at vehicles and houses around Arbourthorne Road.

“I have been in touch with South Yorkshire Police about these incidents and will be monitoring the situation. If you are aware of who is involved in these incidents, then please report them directly to the Police either via 101 or online.

“You can also report this anonymously via Crimestoppers.

“We need to stop who is doing this before someone is seriously injured.”

People responding to her post, on a public social media page, have raised concerns that there have been similar issues in the S12 area recently.

South Yorkshire Police said in a statement: “We have been made aware of recent reports of antisocial behaviour in the Arbourthorne Road area.

“Our neighbourhood policing officers are working closely with our partners to find our more information and to address residents’ concerns.”
