Climate activists to 'flatten tyres on all SUVs' in Edinburgh vandalism spree

Activists have vowed to make it "impossible" to own an SUV in Edinburgh with a planned vandalism spree on the cars - amid fears a motorist could be killed.

Eco group The Edinburgh Tyre Extinguishers - part of a loose international collective - described owning an 4x4 in the city as "immoral" and intend to make it "impossible" to own the flash cars.

The climate-conscious vandals target the vehicles by letting tyres down overnight - but promised they would not target working class neighbourhoods and instead have hit New Town, Morningside and Portobello, including cars owned by NHS staff.
