Drivers in Monroe woke up to a costly headache this past weekend.

Police say tires for 15 vehicles were slashed sometime between 10:30 p.m. Friday night and 4:00 a.m. Saturday morning.

Julie Prochazka has at least six reasons to be upset.

"We had appointments yesterday, I had to find a ride there."

Her driveway is a crime scene - witness to someone slashing six of her tires.

"To get the tires, I have to find a ride to go and get the tires to get them put on."

Prochazka's two vehicles were in her driveway when they were hit by vandals late Friday night or early Saturday morning.

"The light comes on as soon as someone comes into my yard so when they were hitting these ones, that light was shining on them."

Monroe's Police Chief hopes someone sheds some light on whoever's responsible.

He says local repair shops were overwhelmed with 15 vehicles damaged within a matter of hours.

"They didn't even have some of their tires in stock to fix them all... so it became more than a damage thing. Logistically, it became a nightmare for everybody too."

Another car owner lost all 4 tires on his Grand Prix. $450 later, he has a whole new set.

"I don't know anybody who would think this is funny," the chief says.

Especially, Chief Fred Kelley says, considering the suspect could face a felony.

"It's gonna cost me at least $600," Prochazka says.

The total damage estimate is at least a few thousand dollars.

"It'll be at least a week before I can get them running again."

Harry McCarty's already replacing his tires... doing it himself but paying for it out of pocket.
