A number of Edinburgh New Town residents woke to their car tyres having been deflated on Monday, after they were targeted by an activist group.
On Sunday night (April 10), Tyre Extinguishers claimed they had approached over 40 SUVs in the city centre, with volunteers leaving each vehicles tyres flat.
Campaigning to see large cars out of the city centre, the group claimed they "will be back" after finding a number of Range Rovers and Land Rover Defenders.

Taking the air out of each tyre, the group told Edinburgh Live they then left a leaflet on the windscreen explaining their actions, with the title 'Your gas guzzler kills.'

The group hope to see a ban on SUVs in urban areas, and have launched multiple movements across the UK in the hope of seeing the vehicles banned from city centres.
A spokesperson for Edinburgh Tyre Extinguishers said: “The rich of the New Town live in the centre of a city with good, cheap
public transport.
"They don’t need to drive these polluting death machines. They exist only to flaunt their wealth."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Officers have received reports of tyres on a number of vehicles being deliberately deflated in the New Town area of Edinburgh on Monday, 11 April.
"Enquiries are ongoing.”
