A staff member from Signature Vapour on Newport Street, said: "Every now and then we get people on the roof throwing eggs and other kinds of stuff onto the street.
"On this occasion, they were throwing them at teenagers [on Newport Street].
"It puts customers off coming in the shop."
One shopper said: "I saw them above Home Bargains throwing eggs at people."
