The incidents occurred late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, SPD Sgt. Chadd Garnett said.

The suspect or suspects slashed the front and rear passenger-side tires of a vehicle parked along Lampkin Street, Garnett said. Tires on five other vehicles parked near the intersection of South Nash Street and Lummus Street in the Cotton District also were slashed, Garnett said. One vehicle on Nash Street had both rear tires slashed, while the remaining four vehicles each had only one tire slashed, Garnett said.

Police believe a flathead screwdriver or knife with a small blade was used in the crimes. Six different vehicle owners reported the incidents to the Starkville Police Department Sunday between 11:51 a.m. and 12:36 p.m.
