BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. — Vandals hit a Blue Springs neighborhood late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning, slashing dozens of tires, causing thousands of dollars in damage.
It happened in the Timber Oaks neighborhood just off 7 Highway in Blue Springs where the sounds of loosening and tightening lugnuts were heard often Wednesday.
Vandals slashed tires on more than a dozen cars parked along Northwest Roanoke Drive and surrounding side streets based on cars still being serviced roadside Wednesday afternoon. Exact numbers of impacted cars were not provided by Blue Springs police nor any other details about the vandalism or potential suspects.
“The community Facebook feed said something happened with tires and I checked it and sure enough I had two flat tires today,” Eric Gall said.

Gall considered himself lucky, they slashed his trailers tires and not the more expensive truck tires. But for some it meant a day out of work.
