Police believe the nails were intentionally placed to target the police department and for the purpose of damaging tires.

The nails appeared to have been painted black to blend in with the pavement and to avoid detection, police said.

“The person(s) responsible for this cowardly act should recognize that their actions could delay help to someone who is in need of a police officer during an emergency,” police said. “ It also has the likelihood of causing expensive damage to personal and township owned vehicles.”

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Newberry Township Police and request to speak with an officer.
