The force said: “Police are working with First and Stagecoach bus companies following reports of teenagers using imitation firearms to cause fear and distress to bus drivers and passengers.

“Alongside drivers being threatened we have received reports of criminal damage being caused to buses.

“This type of behaviour will not be tolerated in our communities and everyone has the right to go to work without fear.

“We are conducting extensive enquiries, including reviewing CCTV footage to identify those responsible.”
