Officers attended and are now investigating after the tyres of 16 vehicles were damaged.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Huddersfield officers are investigating reports a man was seen behaving suspiciously in the street at about 2am and would like to speak to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious.”
