Lafayette Police are trying to track down suspects in a string of more than 100 tire slashings overnight.

Police in Lafayette are investigating a rash of vandalism targeting tires. They received reports of more than 100 vehicle tires slashed overnight Sunday.

John Goodman, who owns A One Auto Sales, first spotted a problem when he got to work early Monday morning.

"I looked out and thought, 'Oh, I got a tire down'," Goodman said.

Then the volume of vandalism became painfully clear.

"I started looking and I got out of the car and I just couldn't believe it, just everything through here," he said.

He saw tires punctured, all with the same damage and same slash mark. The vandals got every vehicle on the car lot - Goodman's entire inventory.

"It's just a small hole, so it's like they used an ice pick or a small knife," Goodman said. "It's almost like a terrorist. It's devastating. You know, for a small dealer, it puts me out of commission."

All of the damage isn't just making Goodman mad, it's costing him money. He estimates he'll have to pay about $5,000 out of pocket to replace all these tires, plus a week of lost sales.

"I had a gentleman that was gonna buy that '71 El Camino and he was in here this morning and looked at it and of course there's no way to test drive it. I'm out that sale too," Goodman said.

The crimes on the car lot are just the beginning in Lafayette.

"As of noon today, we had over 100 calls," said Lafayette Police Lt. Brian Gossard.

More than 100 people's were tires slashed, all in one night across the city. Police say one victim caught the criminal on camera, through home surveillance, around 3 a.m.

"In one picture, there's a lighter-colored truck driving down the street without headlights and both the passenger and driver's doors are open," Lt. Gossard explained. "That's a lead we will pursue."

As police follow those leads, Goodman wants justice.

"I just can't imagine what anyone would get out of this," he said, shaking his head. "What's the thrill?"
