In Publier, near Thonon-les-Bains in neighbouring France, residents of Rue de la Tour are facing a strange form of sabotage.
A mysterious “nail sower” regularly scatters dozens of nails across the road, causing around fifteen flat tyres in a year.
Some drivers say their cars have been hit five times.
Locals now check the street before leaving home and fear for pedestrians’ safety.
A complaint has been filed against an unknown perpetrator, but the culprit remains at large.
