As snow and ice fell Tuesday across the Northeast, officials in one New York city were unable to immediately clean the streets -- after someone sabotaged all of the snowplow and salt trucks. Mount Vernon Mayor Richard Thomas said in a Facebook post that one or more people are believed to have entered a public works garage between 3:30 p.m. Monday and 5 a.m. Tuesday and stuffed latex gloves in the gas tanks of the city’s municipal trucks. “It’s a direct attack on the people of Mount Vernon,” Thomas said in a statement. In total, 29 trucks -- 16 garbage trucks and 13 snow plows -- had been tampered with, the Rockland/Westchester News reported.
