Tyre Extinguishers letter was 'insulting' says 78-year-old targeted by campaign

A pensioner has described how 'insulted' he felt after discovering one of the tyres on his Range Rover had been let down by the environmental activist group The Tyre Extinguishers.

Robert Burgess, 78, said he was most annoyed that the people who let down his tyre among more than 100 vehicles targeted in his neighbourhood in Bristol, left him a letter criticising him for having a 4x4.

Mr Burgess was one of scores of victims of a group calling itself the Tyre Extinguishers, who targeted SUVs and 4x4s parked in streets in Henleaze, Clifton and Westbury Park in the early hours of Wednesday morning, September 7.
