Somers---The Kenosha County Sheriff's Dept. is still working to track down who dumped dozens of tires on the Lake Michigan shoreline behind the Hob Nob restaurant. WITI-TV first reported the mess over the weekend. A department spokesman tells WGTD FM that between 50 and 80 tires were deposited along the shoreline sometime within the past few weeks, and that the matter is being investigated as a littering complaint. The restaurant reportedly has installed new security cameras in the restaurant's parking lot that borders the lake.

Five different Modine plants will have a hand in building the units. Personnel at the company's Racine-based headquarters handled administrative and sales functions. The value of the order was not disclosed.
