Connecticut Father Warns Young Drivers of Dangerous Flat Tire Trafficking Scam
Urgent Warning Issued to Connecticut Drivers Regarding Predatory "Flat Tire" Scam Amid Rising Trafficking Concerns Connecticut, October 15, 2025 – A prominent local personality and concerned father, Vinnie Penn, has issued a stark public warning to young female drivers across Connecticut, detailing a disturbing new tactic he identifies as a rising threat linked to human trafficking. Penn, known for his radio and television presence, spoke passionately from his vehicle, recounting a recent harrowing incident involving his 22-year-old daughter. According to Penn, his daughter was targeted at a local Starbucks. A man reportedly stared at her inside the coffee shop before following her to her car. Once she was in her vehicle, the individual approached and knocked on her window, claiming she had a flat tire in an attempt to coerce her into exiting the safety of her car. Penn unequivocally stated that this "flat tire" ruse is a prevalent method employed by predators, not just within Connecticut but observed "everywhere," including at traffic lights. He described how perpetrators often fabricate vehicle issues, such as a hanging tailpipe or unusual noises, specifically to lure unsuspecting individuals, particularly young women, out of their cars. He stressed that these are calculated attempts to create vulnerability for potential human trafficking. In a direct address to his daughter and by extension, all young female drivers, Penn offered critical advice. When asked about the potential damage to her car if she drove on a flat tire, Penn's response was resolute: "Destroy that rim." He emphasized that personal safety is paramount, far outweighing any material damage to a vehicle. "If you've got to tap them with the vehicle, just get out of there," he asserted, urging drivers to lean on their horn continuously and drive away immediately from any suspicious situation, even if it means further compromising the tire or rim. His message serves as a vital reminder for heightened vigilance and decisive action in the face of such dangerous encounters.
