Police investigating tire slashing spree on Brockville’s King Street East

Brockville Police are investigating a series of tire slashing incidents that occurred overnight between June 23 and the early hours of June 24.

Officers received multiple reports from the King Street East area, where approximately 10 vehicles were found with one or more tires deliberately damaged. In total, about 18 tires were slashed.

Police say the incidents took place sometime between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., and they are actively canvassing the neighbourhood, reviewing surveillance footage, and speaking with witnesses in an effort to identify those responsible.
