FALMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - Police found hundreds of nails on several Falmouth roads early Friday morning, including some positioned under vehicle tires, police said.
At around 2 p.m., an officer patrolling John Parker Road discovered multiple nails lined up on the street, sticking upward, according to the Falmouth Police Department.
Officers looked around and discovered hundreds more nails on Clark Street, Old Barnstable Road, Prince Henry Drive, and in residents’ driveways, police said.
Police said they collected 478 nails in total, with the help of the Falmouth Department of Public Works.
Deborah Bent said police officers found nails under her car tire.
“Somebody didn’t just throw nails and they landed that way. Those were propped up, specifically in front of the tire,” Bent said.
Cindy Collings, another Falmouth resident, said she found nails in her tires over the past few weeks. After seeing the news Friday, she said she put two and two together and called 911.
“I asked them what kind of nails they were, and they said they were galvanized construction nails, so it kind of matches the description of what I had in my tires,” Collings said.
However, it is not confirmed that Collings’ issue is connected to Friday’s incident.
Anyone with information or relevant security camera footage is asked to contact Officer Cooper Chapman at 774-255-4527, Ext. 4626.
