GALVESTON, TX -- Police are looking for the perpetrators responsible for a rash of tire slashings in a Galveston neighborhood over the weekend.

Officials said dozens of cars parked along the street between 32nd Street to 46th Street, and adjacent to P1/2 to K Streets had their tires slashed.

Residents in the area discovered the flat tires on their vehicles early Saturday, KPRC reported.

Juan Pineda said four of his vehicles had their tires slashed, and that included the tires on his work truck, and is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.

"I looked from that end, to that end, and every car had a flat tire on the street side," Pineda told KTRK.

One neighbor told police he'd seen a man walking up and down the street at about 2:30 a.m., who appeared to be cutting tires.

Police said they'd taken about 70 police reports on slashed tires, and are looking for anyone with surveillance video to see if they can determine how many people were involved in this mass criminal mischief.
