Detectives became aware of the incidents when Tesla dealership employees at Tesla Motors at 115 Kisco Ave. reported at 7:11 a.m. the theft of 16 wheels/tires from four vehicles, according to Westchester County police spokesman Kieran O'Leary.
The thefts occurred sometime between 10 p.m.on Wednesday and 6 a.m. on Thursday. It appears that the thief or thieves cut a hole in a fence on the property to access the dealership and remove the tires, O'Leary said.
A short time later at 7:58 a.m., an employee at a self-storage facility on Kensico Drive reported that seven tires were slashed on two vehicles parked at the facility overnight, he said.
The final call came in at 8:15 a.m., when employees at Mount Kisco Volvo/Land Rover, at 299 Kisco Ave., reported that all 36 tires on nine vehicles were slashed overnight, O'Leary said.
It appears from a security video that a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt entered the property at 4:36 a.m. and left at 4:45 a.m., he added.
Detectives believe that the two incidents of vandalism were committed by the same person but that the thefts at Telsa were committed by a different party, O'Leary said.
All three incidents remain under investigation.
