UNION CITY, Ga. — Police are on the trail of a man they say illegally dumped more than 12,000 old tires in a neighborhood in south Fulton County.
Neighbors near Oakhurst Way in Union City told Channel 2's Berndt Petersen they couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the massive pile of tires.
State environmental officials say this is one of the worst cases of illegal tire dumping they have ever seen.
"It definitely doesn't make you feel good that this is literally in your backyard. You wouldn't wish this on another neighborhood or any neighborhood at all," neighbor Cralen Davis said.
Union City Mayor Vince Williams told Petersen that police have a suspect.
"We will hunt you down," Williams said.
