Nails found in road in Nailsea
Police have received multiple reports in recent weeks
Police are investigating multiple reports of nails being found in the road in Nailsea,
Several reports have been made about nails being scattered in the road since 30 March in Greenfield Crescent, Heathfield Road and Ash Hayes Road.
The force have obtained some CCTV footage showing a man in a patterned top, a dark and white checked lumberjack style jacket with a dark hood raised. Officers are particularly keen to speak to this man.
PC Alison Codd said: “Putting nails out in the middle of the road is patently incredibly dangerous. Not only would it likely damage any vehicle that runs over them, it could have potentially horrendous consequences if a tyre was to sustain a puncture or blow out at speed.
“In one incident, on 5 April a fire service truck was damaged because it ran over nails, which could on another occasion have stopped it reaching a critical emergency.”
PC Codd continued: “The man we wish to speak to is seen wearing a distinctive jacket and we hope someone may recognise it.
