Tyres on SUVs and 4x4 cars had been deflated by way of inserting lentils into the valves and leaflets had been left on the car windshields signed off with ‘Tyre Extinguishers’. The notice reads: “ATTENTION – your gas guzzler kills."You’ll be angry – don’t take this personally. It’s not you. It’s your car.

"We did this because driving around urban areas in your massive vehicle has huge consequences on others.” Stephanie Wood of Monk Bridge Avenue said she noticed the leaflet on her car as she left to walk her son to school but paid it no mind. It was when she got to school she realised that the deflated tyres was the “talk of the playground”.“I said that I’d seen a leaflet and someone said ‘they will have got you too’.”Ms Wood said she noticed numerous cars on her way home had been targeted before she checked on her Ford Puma Hybrid and saw that one of the back tyres had been deflated.
