(1 - 4)Western Australia Police is unable to provide a response as this specific type of information is not captured on police databases.
Even manual checking of narratives for offences involving a Rock, Stone or Brick as a weapon would not necessarily identify throwing rocks or projectiles at a bus.
The information in Briefcase to determine the court outcome is too manually intensive to search through the text fields of the respective Briefs.
Western Australia Police do keep a watching brief over these types of incidents.
