Slashed tires, bewildered residents in Roseway neighborhood
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- The investigation into who slashed the tires on more than 50 cars in Portland's Roseway neighborhood continues as residents assess the damage and the cost.
Shortly before 9 a.m. Saturday a resident in the 2800 block of NE 72nd called police about having 2 tires punctured overnight. The officer then found more than 30 people within the area of NE 72nd to 77th between Sandy and Alameda also suffered tire damage.
As the investigation continued another 20 victims in a multi-block area west of Roseway Heights Middle School, officials said.
"A search of the entire neighborhood found 30 -- actually we think more than 30 cars- were damaged or vandalized in some way," PPB Sgt. Kevin Allen said. He added they don't have any suspect information to release, "but we are pretty early on in the investigation."
KOIN 6 News will have more information from residents later on in the day.
