Sgt Jansen Carter, from Wiltshire Police, said: "Luckily... no-one was hurt. These senseless acts of criminal damage will have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage, including destroying a school bus."
A spokesperson said inquiries were continuing and any witnesses have been asked to get in touch.
