Tyre Extinguishers Vandalize SUVs in Edinburgh

In Edinburgh, eco-activist group Tyre Extinguishers vandalized 20 SUVs with graffiti, including messages like 'These cars kill kids' and 'Ban SUVs?'. The group claims the action is a protest against the environmental impact and safety dangers posed by large vehicles in urban areas. Police Scotland confirmed reports of the vandalism in Moray Place, stating they are investigating the incidents. Residents expressed outrage, arguing that the vandalism constitutes property damage and that the targeted vehicles serve practical purposes. One affected resident highlighted her need for the vehicle to transport a therapy dog and care for her family, emphasizing that the act of vandalism fails to consider individual circumstances.
