Last night, the tires of over seven cars were slashed in Owen O’Leary’s parking lot. The police are asking for the public’s help in locating the suspect.
The alleged vandal is described as a white male with one leg, approximately 6’8” tall, and with a southern accent. He was reported as driving “a large, blue, ice cream style truck.”
According to notes in the latest police log, the man was refused service and asked to leave the restaurant. He was then spotted in the act of slicing tires by an employee who contacted the police. The suspect left before officers arrived.
If you have any information related to the case, please contact Det. Sean McCarthy at (508) 485-2121.
More highlights from the log include other customer interactions gone wrong and drivers who may have learned the wrong lesson from recent media coverage of Justin Bieber. (Drag racing in Southborough? This isn’t the Las Vegas strip!)
