CCTV footage released as investigation into Aston Villa team bus attack in Lancashire continues
Their bus had its windscreen smashed by a brick on Sunday
A fresh appeal's being made by detectives looking to find whoever attacked Aston Villa's team bus in Lancashire.
The windscreen was smashed by a brick, as the team made their way home from their Premier League victory at Burnley on Sunday.
Lancashire Police say it's lucky no one was hurt in the attack on the M65 motorway.
CCTV's now been released show two men to the left of the coach who they're keen to identify.
Detectives are also still looking for dashcam footage and witnesses.
A man was arrested in relation to the incident but has since been released no further action, having been found not to have been involved.
Supt Melita Worswick, of Lancashire Police, said: “This incident could have been so much worse and it is nothing but good luck that nobody was injured. The coach driver could have been injured by the broken glass, causing him to swerve into another vehicle, or another vehicle could have been hit by the brick. There could have been serious injuries or even fatalities. For this reason we are taking this incident extremely seriously.
“We have now released CCTV footage from the coach and are asking anybody who recognises the two men on the left to get in touch. We appreciate the footage of them is quite grainy, but one is wearing distinctive clothing and this may help somebody recognise them.
“The area was busy when incident occurred, with bank holiday traffic and people leaving the area following the football match between Burnley and Aston Villa, and we believe there will be people out there who have not yet spoken to us, who either saw who was responsible or has dashcam showing the men more clearly.
“Whatever information you have please get in touch.”
