From SYP: On Wednesday night (25 October) officers from our off-road bike team attended The Crescent, Woodlands to recover a scooter, that was reported stolen on 9 October and believed to be involved in crime.
While in attendance, a group of unknown people started firing fireworks towards our officers, which also included people in the immediate vicinity.
Thankfully no one was injured, but one woman was screaming ‘stop it, my kids are in the garden’ and this is a reminder how innocent people, including our officers can suffer significant life-threatening injuries from fireworks.
