PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia police are hoping that surveillance video will lead them to a tire slasher in Northeast Philadelphia.
Tuesday morning, police got multiple complaints from residents of the city's Lawndale section who'd discovered their tires had been punctured sometime overnight. In all, 16 vehicles were vandalized on three streets -- Hellerman, Shelbourne, and Oakley.

Anyone with information is asked to call police.
