Tires Of 13 Vehicles Slashed Outside Clarion Hotel In Suffolk: Cops
It happened between Dec. 17 and Jan. 1, police said.
RONKONKOMA, NY — The tires of 13 vehicles were slashed in the parking lot outside of the Clarion Hotel on Veterans Memorial Highway in Ronkonkoma over the last two weeks, Suffolk police said.
The damage, reported between Dec. 17 and Jan. 1., ranged from some vehicles having one tire slashed to others with two tires, and at least one had three tires slashed, according to police. The vehicles ranged from 2015 models to 2022, including some Fords and Nissans, as well as a Cadillac, Volvo, and a Subaru.
The owners used the parking lot because it was cheaper than using the lot at nearby Long Island MacArthur Airport, but they have not been reimbursed in any way, News 12 reported.
