Lt. Kurt Conroy with the Amsterdam Police Department said. “We had a bad rash of tire slashings a couple weeks ago. Thirty-two cars had tires slashed. We got a couple more of those reportings within the past couple of days.” Police said Forbes Street, John Street, Arnold Avenue, Locust Street and Church Street had reports of rocks thrown at the windows. Pulaski Street, Locust Street, Clizbe Avenue, McCleary Avenue had reports of BB guns shattering windows.
