~ from Scarborough, By Chris Hall Port Perry Star When he moved to Port Perry Jerry Connolly was looking for a more peaceful, and safe environment for his wife and himself. Instead, he says he found himself living at one of Port Perry's biggest havens for mis- chief-makers. While waiting for their house to be built at Canterbury Common, the Connollys are residing in a condominium located at 108 Water St. Expecting sufficient security, Mr. Connolly had always left his vehicle in the underground 10- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, December 24, 1996 parking garage located beneath the complex. But last Monday, he said, two tires on his car where slashed by vandals with knifes. 'Security stinks' "The security here stinks," said Mr. Connolly, who ended up paying $450 to replace all four tires. "There are other people who could not endure this hardship. We were lucky enough to have two cars, so we had a vehicle while the other was incapaci- tated," said the retired man. "There are other people who are older than us and less well endowed, and a loss like this would be a greater inconve- nience to them than it was to us." ; He said two other cars in the underground parking garage had their tires slashed lately; one car had two tires knife while the other had one tire cut open, he said. Mr. Connolly said that some 40 vehicles have had their tires slashed on Water St. in the recent past. Mr. Connolly also believes that his complaints are falling upon deaf ears at the police sta- tion. He said he was less than satisfied when he addressed his problem to a Durham Police officer.
