UNION CITY, Ga. — Police are searching for a man they say somehow dumped thousands of tires behind a Union City subdivision.

Investigators told Channel 2's Nefertiti Jaquez that several warrants have been issued Donald Leverette across the metro for illegal dumping of tires.

Neighbors in the area say not only are they worried about their homes, but their health as well.

Thousands of tires have been dumped in an undeveloped area of around the Southwind Subdivision in Union City.  Nearby residents say they’ve been dealing with the problem since December.

“We work very hard to keep these properties up and to know that someone can just come in and dump that behind our homes,” neighbor John Taylor said.
