Around 8:15pm on Wednesday, Police were on mobile patrol in a marked Police vehicle traveling east along Middle Road in Sandys parish when officers observed approximately 6 youth throwing objects at a taxi. When the group of youths saw the Police, they ran in different directions, with Police giving chase. One of the youths, a 16 year old young man from St. Georges, was pursued on to White Hill Lane where he was apprehended. He was then arrested, taken to Somerset Police Station and detained. It appears there was no damage done to the taxi and the driver, a 42 year old Southampton woman, was not injured. Inquiries into this incident are underway.
