ITEMS thrown from the top floor of a Tesco car park in Yeovil "narrowly missed" hitting members of the public - including a 10-month-old baby, police say.

Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for information from the public about the incident, which they say took place at around 4:45pm/5pm on Thursday, March 10.

Police say the items were thrown from the car park roof onto the zebra crossing between Westminster Street and the Tesco store in Huish.

A police spokesperson said: "Two offenders threw items, including a brick, from the car park, and in one case narrowly missed hitting a 10-month old baby in a pushchair. 

"We’re appealing for anyone in the area who saw the two offenders, who were both wearing dark clothing, or anyone who may have captured them on their dash cams while in the car park."

Anyone with information about the incident should contact the police by phoning 101 and giving the call handler the reference number 5222058085. 

They can also complete the police force's online appeals form or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
