Two nine-year-old girls have been caught on video hurling bricks from a bridge at cars traveling on Britain's busiest motorway, police said Thursday.

Surrey police released the CCTV footage as part of a warning to parents following a sharp increase in such cases.

The girls were caught after a motorist rang the police to report his windshield had been smashed by a brick thrown from a motorway footbridge on the London orbital M25.

They were taken home but no prosecution is possible because they are deemed under the age of criminal responsibility.

This hits home to me because Bob was driving home one night last week and had his windshield shattered by something--it happened so fast, he isn't sure what it was, and he wasn't going under an overpass so I don't think it was anyone doing it on purpose--he's okay, but it could so easily have caused a terrible accident.

One can only hope that the children's parents take some disciplinary action. Hard to imagine what would go through the mind of a nine-year-old to cause them to do something like this. Is this the modern version of Pooh Sticks?
