The mystery continues in the Alle-Kiski Valley as to how and why hundreds of these metal fragments ended up in the tires of drivers this week.
Harrison Township police said they’ve been in contact with local manufacturing companies and scrapyards, who are cooperating with this investigation.
“It’s just crazy how they all line up,” said Rebecca Dickens of Fuzzy Simon Tire Service.
Dickens told Channel 11 that at least a few dozen customers have come in with the material lodged in their tires. One customer even had three pieces of metal in one of hers.
“Nobody has time for it. It’s just super frustrating for all of them,” Dickens said.
