[Summit] Update on tire slashing

[Jonathan Howard]

Jim Kelley followed up with the police regarding this incident. Here is his 
report.

   Thursday night/ Friday morning December 28/29 between 11:00 PM and 7:00 
AM, tires were slashed on 34 cars in Providence district 8-3 throughout but 
limited to the area west of Hope and north of Rochambeau to the Pawtucket 
line. An additional 25 cars were affected over the line into Pawtucket and 
included cars parked on the street and in driveways. Providence and 
Pawtucket police detectives are working together.

Providence BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation?) dusted the Providence 
cars with no results. During the night there were no reports of suspicious 
activity; however, the next morning one lady told Providence detectives she 
thought she saw some kids and heard a hissing sound at 1:30 AM but didn't 
call. The Lt. urges people to call 272-1111 for any suspicious activity so 
a car can be sent to look around. As of now, the Police need additional 
information. If anyone knows anything about this incident, they are asked 
to call 243-6980.

Separately, the Lt. reports that there have been numerous car break-ins in 
the Marriot and Miriam parking lots since the first of the year. People are 
still leaving iPods, etc. in plain view. A particular "hot" item is the 
mobile GPS device.
