POLICE have revealed the roads believed to have been targeted by climate activists deflating tyres on “gas-guzzling” cars.
Activists in Brighton placed flyers on the windscreens apologising for targeting the SUVs.
Tyre Extinguishers, thought to be a splinter group of climate activists Extinction Rebellion, said it wanted to "make it impossible to own an SUV in the UK's urban areas".
Sussex Police said it had received multiple reports from members of the public in Brighton, who found the tyres on their cars had been deflated.
Vehicles in Balfour Road, Lowther Road and Maldon Road in Brighton, The Drive in Hove and Newells Close in Woodingdean, were targeted in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
A spokesman for the force said: “Enquiries are ongoing, and anyone with information or who has video footage from the area which could help officers with their investigation is asked to report it to police online or call 101 quoting serial number 111 of 08/03.”
