In the latest incident, a swede was lobbed at a police armed response car responding to a 999 call on Sunday, causing £500 of damage to its windscreen.
Last month, a swede smashed into a driver’s Range Rover, while another said a turnip had been thrown from a bridge.
A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said: ‘Objects have been thrown from various bridges at different times on different days of the week.’
