KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) Authorities are trying to find whoever is throwing socks filled with sand and rocks at motorists northwest of Atlanta. <br />
<br />
Drivers say they suspect the projectiles are being hurled by someone hiding in the woods near roads in western Cobb County. <br />

Murray Chalmers tells WSB-TV that he was driving after dark Monday when something slammed into his windshield. He saw a couple of young men in the area, and didn't immediately realize what had happened. <br />

Another motorist, Allen Ashwege, thought he hit an animal over the weekend and then found a sand-filled sock imbedded in the front grill of his vehicle. He returned to Kennesaw Due West Road and found several other makeshift devices along the road. <br />

Police say they've received several similar reports and are tracking down leads. <br />
