LAWRENCEVILLE (AP) — Police are searching for suspects after rocks were thrown at moving cars in Gwinnett County.

Gwinnett County police told WSB-TV that they're investigating five such cases in northern Gwinnett County.

Two of the incidents took place on Ridge Road. In one case, a driver was injured when a rock shattered her window and the glass cut her face.

Police say they've arrested two 17-year-olds who face charges of making terroristic threats in connection with the rock throwing, but they're seeking more suspects.

The same thing happened to me April 2011. I was driving on Old Norcross Road just past Sweet Water infront of what used to be Charleston at Sweetwater apartments. A male teenager threw a rock at my car, damaged the hood, the repairs and rental car cost nearly $500 even with insurance. Of course by the time the police arrived he was gone. I am glad to know that the teenages have been arrested.
