Screws And Nails In Roadways

Over the past week, several locations in Big Lake, Zimmerman, Orrock, and rural Sherburne County Roadways have been hit with individual(s) throwing screws and nails in the driving lanes. 

This has caused damage to a variety of vehicles including one of the BLPD squad cars. 

“We are working diligently to try to identify those responsible for this disgusting act, including reviewing video from adjacent businesses,” says Investigator Rich Berg. 

“As of today, we have received 39 reports of screws/nails that caused damage to tires on vehicles. If your vehicle was damaged in the City of Big Lake, please make a report online so we are aware of it. You can do this at: http://biglakemn.org/449/Make-a-Police-Report .”
