In some cases the victims have been elderly people living alone who have become frightened and distressed.
Shops are being asked to be watchful for youngsters trying to buy eggs. Police are asking them not to sell them to children if they are suspicious about what they will be used for.
Parents who think eggs are going missing from the kitchen are being asked to check whether their children are involved in the attacks.
