Chico police are circulating surveillance footage gathered 10 days ago showing a young white man slashing a tire on a delivery truck.
The incident occurred at 3:25 in the morning on Sept. 27. Police say the man, accompanied by two other young men, slashed tires on two trucks owned by Tahoe Pure Water. Damage was assessed at $1,000.
Police say the suspect and several associates were also observed on surveillance video at a nearby restaurant shortly before the incident. It’s unclear if the vandalism is related to more than a hundred other tire slashings documented by residents since July.
