British police urged SUV drivers to check their cars before getting behind the wheel after climate activists claimed to have deflated the tyres of “around 100” vehicles in the Scottish capital Edinburgh on a single night.

According to an environmentalist group called “Tyre Extinguishers,” in the early hours of May 26, at least three teams of activists “disarmed around 100 SUVs” in the New Town, Marchmont, and Hillside areas of Edinburgh.
