Tyre Extinguishers claim responsibility for attack to highlight ‘presence of grossly inappropriate private vehicles’ on roads
Anti-SUV activists used a power drill to sabotage the tyres of more than 60 4×4 vehicles at a car dealership, in an attack they described as a reprisal for the deaths of two girls in a crash at a primary school last month.
In the early hours of Monday morning, activists crept on to the forecourt of the Vertu Jaguar showroom in Exeter. They told the Guardian they went from vehicle to vehicle drilling holes in the sidewalls of all four tyres on each, so they must be replaced.
