A 15-year-old boy and a man have been arrested after a microwave was hurled through the windscreen of a moving car, injuring the driver.
The motorist was driving in Lincolnshire on October 16 when he suddenly saw a scooter with two people on it coming towards him.
The passenger of the scooter hurled a microwave into the windscreen of the car around 11pm.
It got wedged inside the blue Ford Fiesta, causing the windscreen glass to shatter everywhere.
Lincolnshire Police arrested the man and the 15-year-old boy on Friday evening.
Police officers allegedly spotted them riding on stolen motorbikes through Gainsborough town centre and the duo were detained on suspicion of the theft of a motor vehicle.
They also searched a third man who was arrested after being found carrying a metal pole.
Officers suspect they are responsible for a spate of criminal damage which has been plaguing the town in recent weeks.
