NSPD asked anyone with information about who placed the caltrops to contact the department or submit an anonymous tip to Silent Observer Muskegon, according to FOX 17.
Grand Rapids is having trouble clearing snow because of illegal parking, especially odd-even parking violations, which can block snowplows and affect emergency response. Snowplows use GPS and cameras to track cleared streets, revisit missed areas, and identify repeat violators. This season’s odd-even parking citations are already higher than last year, as per WOOD TV.
Norton Shores police warned residents to be cautious after caltrops were found near a local industrial park. "Tires on several vehicles have been damaged by the caltrops," police said, as mentioned by WZZM 13. Authorities asked anyone who saw a person or vehicle placing the caltrops to contact them. The notice reflects efforts by police and public works to keep the community safe and maintain daily transportation.
