Boston police issue warning to officers after vehicle tampered with

BOSTON — Boston police have issued an internal warning to police officers after an officer’s personal car was tampered with.

A tire from an officer's personal vehicle came off when the officer drove away from station A-1 downtown on Friday.

Police told FOX25 the tow truck driver and a mechanic who inspected the vehicle agree that the lack of damage to the lug nuts indicated they were tampered with.

The officer normally parks his vehicle behind area A-1, but police said it is unclear if the lug nuts were loosened there or at another location.

Police have issued this warning as a safety and awareness alert due to an increase in anti-law enforcement sentiment across the country.
