Description
We have been made aware of several vehicles with damage to tires. Reports began coming in the evening on 2/3/2025.
It is unclear at this time where exactly the vehicles are picking up the metal fragments but we believe that vehicles may be picking them up on PA Route 28, PA Route 908 and/or Freeport Road near Walmart. Officers have checked numerous areas throughout the Township and have not been able to locate where exactly on the roadway the metal fragments are being picked up by motorists.
We do not have any reason to believe that the metal fragments have been placed on a roadway with any criminal intent at this time and we do not believe these are related to the "Caltrops" reported by Tarentum Police a couple of months ago.
We are working with PennDOT to have the State Roadways broomed or cleaned up to reduce the risk of additional damage to tires.
