UPPER SAUCON TWP., Pa. – Multiple people had their tires slashed Monday night in the Liberty Village community in Upper Saucon Township.
“I wake up in the morning, get my car loaded up and get ready to go to work, and next thing you know it, my tire’s flat,” said Eric Veppustek.
Veppustek quickly learned he wasn’t the only one. Up and down Bunker Hill Dr. S., cars were getting towed or getting new tires put on.
“Since I have an all-wheel drive, whenever I have to do the one tire, I have to do the other one,” said Veppustek. “A good, healthy 300 bucks. Was not expecting that this morning.”
“They’re expensive tires, and it’s just, I can’t believe people would just do this,” said Donald Kernechel, who also had his tire slashed.
Kernechel and Veppustek talked with detectives from the Upper Saucon Township Police Department.
“The police officer said there’s 14 reports,” said Kernechel.
Kernechel hopes somebody saw something that can track down the criminal.
“If somebody knows, or if somebody has a camera on their home that saw this, let the police know. So, we’ve got to get these guys, whoever they are,” said Kernechel.
As for Veppustek, he’d just like to reinflate his bank account.
“Would like to get paid back that 300 bucks I just spent to get my tire replaced. Would love that,” said Veppustek.
If you think you might know anything about this crime, you are asked to call the Upper Saucon Township Police Department at (610) 437-5252.
