Vandals flatten at least 20 car tires in Church Hill - NBC12.com - Richmond, VA News

Police say vandals came through, overnight, and flattened dozens of car tires in a Church Hill neighborhood.

It happened along East Marshall and Cedar streets near Jefferson Park.

"It's very distressing," said John Rasmussen. "Not what you want to wake up to on a Sunday morning." 

Police say they're looking for clues. At least 20 cars were vandalized, but so far, no one knows why.

"It's the same like all the other tires on this street here, the driver's side front tire that's slashed it was really ripped up," said Rasmussen.

"I've already helped two or three people out trying to get their tires back on, so just trying to do good on a Sunday," said another victim, Alex Ali.

The free tire service from a helpful neighbor is nice, but having to replace them is costing a lot of money.  

"It'll be a couple hundred bucks yeah, with towing and everything else," said Rasmussen.

"Yup, just adds to the bills, just adds to the bills," said Ali.

If you have any information on this case, police want to hear from you. You can Call Crimes Stoppers at 780-1000.
