Authorities have arrested an individual who allegedly tried to deflate the tires of law enforcement vehicles, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a Jan. 24 post on X.
“During the riots, one individual was apprehended for obstructing law enforcement personnel and utilizing caltrops to deflate the tires of law enforcement vehicles. Upon apprehension, the subject was found in possession of a bag containing several similar devices,” DHS said, without giving more details on the individual. Caltrops are small, spiky devices spread across a terrain to impede the movement of vehicles and people.
