Climate activists claim they have let down tyres of SUVs parked in the Didsbury area of south Manchester overnight, leaving notes on vehicles targeted saying: "It's not personal - it's your car."
The Manchester Evening News has been sent an anonymous email from a campaign group calling itself 'The Tyre Extinguishers' which claimed 26 so-called sports utility vehicles were hit.
On Twitter, the group claimed vehicles in Bacup, Lancashire, were also targeted overnight, together with SUVs in Wood Green, London, and vehicles in Paris, France. It's not known whether any of them were electric vehicles.
