Coventry police say they’ve received two complaints in recent months about the small, sharp devices being left in the roadway or near a driveway. The spikes, which can puncture tires and potentially cause serious damage, were found in separate parts of town and months apart.

“These can be purchased online from known retailers,” Coventry Police said in a statement. They’re now asking residents to report any similar objects spotted in the streets or other areas where they could injure a person or damage a vehicle.

Anyone who sees the spikes or has information about the incidents should call Coventry Police at 860-742-7331. Anonymous tips can be reported at 860-742-2400.
