An operational police car had its windscreen smashed – by a flying SWEDE.

Cops were driving to a job when a vandal lobbed the root vegetable at the liveried vehicle – causing around £500 worth of damage.

A hunt is underway for the mystery food thrower after an image of the smashed windscreen was shared by Twitter account @50bikecop.

They wrote: “Another shift smashed. Joking aside – Some idiots think it is hilarious to throw Swedes at cars on the dual carriageway.

“This time was an ARV but could’ve been a member of public’s car.”

The incident happened in Torquay, Devon, on Sunday evening.

Devon and Cornwall Police said: “At 8.40pm 19th January, the windscreen of a marked police vehicle was damaged by an object, believed to be a swede, thrown from the side of the road at it was driving on Hellevoetsluis Way, Torquay.
