A MAN posted a lighted firework through the letterbox at Bonymaen Police Station.

He was caught on CCTV and is now being hunted by police.

Officers said the firework quickly burned out and did not cause any serious damage.

But they said it could have been much worse.

Sergeant Ralph Harris, of the Eastside Sector, said: "This could have been a potentially serious situation.

"I would appeal to the communities of Winch Wen and Bonymaen, if anyone knows the person responsible or has any relevant information to come forward."

The attack happened at around 8pm on Wednesday, January 14, and involved a white man wearing a black hooded jacket, with the hood up.

The jacket had a thick, white, vertical stripe on each arm, and a logo to the left chest area.

He was wearing light-colour trousers, light-colour training shoes and gloves.

He was then seen to run away up Bonymaen Road.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Police in Swansea on 01792 456999 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
