Crackdown on egg-throwing in town

Police in a Wiltshire town have asked shops not to sell eggs to anyone who appears to be under 18.

The move follows a number of complaints from residents and businesses after a spate of egg-throwing in Tidworth.

Officers have said they need the co-operation of the town's shopkeepers to put an end to the antisocial behaviour by some youngsters.

"If youths attempt to buy them and you have CCTV then let us know and we can identify them," PCSO Jemma Clarke said.

"We know most of the kids around here and if we can identify them then we can go around and offer them some advice," she added.
