Nearly 500 nails with their points facing upward were found embedded in streets, sidewalks, driveways, and even under parked car tires in the city of Falmouth, in the United States (USA).
The act, considered dangerous by the police, was discovered around 2 a.m. on Friday by an officer on patrol. The images released showed the nails carefully positioned to cause damage, especially to vehicle tires.
Police collected a total of 478 nails scattered across four streets. Residents reported being awakened by police officers, who warned them about the presence of the objects near their homes and cars. Some neighbors, like Rick Murphy, even helped with the cleanup using a magnet to find nails that might have been hidden in the grass.
Authorities are still investigating the case and are asking the public for help, requesting security camera footage or any information that could lead to those responsible. Meanwhile, locals are speculating about who might be behind the act, with suggestions ranging from bored teenagers to a tire seller trying to boost profits.
