tires

Even if there are just a few stacked up in your back yard - it can be a ecological disaster.

Illegal dumping is a serious problem in Caddo Parish, and tires make up a large chunk of the items that are illegally discarded.

The most recent incidences involved Chevrolet vehicles, and in both cases the tires and rims were stolen while the vehicle was left on blocks in their driveways.

The man grabbed 4 new tires, loaded them into the trunk of an older model car (most likely with very bald, and possibly mis-matched tires) and fled the scene off the crime.

I had no idea there was such thing as a mobile tire shop. Let's be real, I refuse to take time off of work to get my oil changed, getting new tires takes up a lot of time, everything about car maintenance makes me cringe.

Authorities ask anyone who sees someone dumping tires or any other trash or debris in unauthorized places to call Shreveport-Caddo Crime Stoppers at (318) 673-7373.
