### Police Seek Woman After Car Attacked With Missile in Swansea Driveway
South Wales Police are appealing for information after a woman was recorded on CCTV allegedly launching a missile at the windscreen of a parked car in the Ravenhill area of Swansea. The filmed incident, which took place in the early hours of Thursday, 10 July, on Glasbrook Place, has stirred concern in the local community and prompted a formal investigation by authorities.
The CCTV footage in question captures a woman walking calmly down a residential street before abruptly pausing next to a car parked in a private driveway. Without warning, she appears to throw a hard object—believed to be a rock—directly at the vehicle’s windscreen, causing visible damage. The footage then shows her quickly fleeing the scene on foot, leaving the area before anyone could intervene.
Police say they are eager to identify and question the woman involved. They have released stills of the CCTV images in the hope that members of the public might be able to recognise her and assist with their enquiries. Incidents like these, though uncommon, have a profound impact on the sense of safety and security among local residents, who now find themselves unsettled by the unprovoked act of vandalism.
In a statement distributed to the media, a spokesperson for South Wales Police said:
“Officers are looking to speak with the woman in this CCTV following an incident of vandalism to a vehicle in Glasbrook Place, Ravenhill, Swansea, in the early hours of Thursday, July 10. This woman, or anyone who recognises her, should contact 101 and quote occurrence 2500218864.”
The force is encouraging anyone with information that may assist the investigation to come forward, emphasising that even the smallest detail could be crucial to identifying the suspect and understanding the full circumstances surrounding the act. Police have provided several contact options, including their online live chat service and a dedicated reporting form, in addition to the non-emergency telephone number.
Community reactions have been swift, with many expressing frustration over the damage and an increased fear about possible repeat incidents. Car-related crime remains a key concern in many urban areas, and law enforcement agencies regularly highlight the importance of public vigilance and swift reporting.
Authorities also remind the public that in instances of emergency or if a crime is in progress, they should always call 999. For non-urgent matters, the standard 101 line or online channels are recommended so that police resources can be allocated effectively.
As the search continues, South Wales Police are working through all available evidence, including reviewing further CCTV footage from the area, in their efforts to locate the individual responsible. They have also urged residents to check their own security cameras for any images that might support the ongoing investigation.
Meanwhile, locals are being reminded to take appropriate precautions to secure vehicles and property, while also looking out for unusual activity in their neighbourhoods. Police maintain that public cooperation is vital in tackling such crimes and ensuring the wellbeing of all who live in Swansea.
